Unlike the Haloarcula marismortui and Deinococcus radiodurans examples, the lower portion of helix 42 in E.coli contains two consecutive G*A oppositions with both adenines on the same side of the stem. Herein, the structure of an analog of positions 1037-1043 and 1112-1118 in the helix 42 region is reported. NMR spectra and structure calculations support a cis Watson-Crick/Watson-Crick (cis W.C.) G*A conformation for the tandem (G*A)2 in the analog and a minimally perturbed helical duplex stem. Mg2+ titration studies imply that the cis W.C. geometry of the tandem (G*A)2 probably allows O6 of G20 and N1 of A4 to coordinate with a Mg2+ ion as indicated by the largest chemical shift changes associated with the imino group of G20 and the H8 of G20 and A4. A cross-strand bridging Mg2+ coordination has also been found in a different sequence context in the crystal structure of H.marismortui 23S rRNA, and therefore it may be a rare but general motif in Mg2+ coordination.
