摘要

A number of thrombin-binding DNA aptamers have been developed during recent years. So far the structure of just a single one, 15-mer thrombin-binding aptamer (15TBA), has been solved as G-quadruplex. Structures of others, showing variable anticoagulation activities, are still not known yet. In this paper, we applied the circular dichroism and UV spectroscopy to characterize the temperature unfolding and conformational features of 31-mer thrombin-binding aptamer (31TBA), whose sequence has a potential to form G-quadruplex and duplex domains. Both structural domains were monitored independently in 31TBA and in several control oligonucleotides unable to form either the duplex region or the G-quadruplex region. The major findings are as follows: (1) both duplex and G-quadruplex domains coexist in intramolecular structure of 31TBA, (2) the formation of duplex domain does not change the fold of G-quadruplex, which is very similar to that of 15TBA, and (3) the whole 31TBA structure disrupts if either of two domains is not formed: the absence of duplex structure in 31TBA abolishes G-quadruplex, and vice versa, the lack of G-quadruplex folding results in disallowing the duplex domain.
