摘要

Short guanine-rich sequences have a tendency to form quadruplexes that are stabilized by G-quartets with specific cation coordination. Quadruplexes are part of telomeres at the ends of chromosomes and play an important role in the regulation of gene expression. In addition, there is a strong interest in the therapeutic and biotechnological potential of quadruplex oligonucleotides. The HIV-integrase aptamer, d(GGGT)(4), demonstrated unusually favorable van't Hoff thermodynamics, and based on NMR studies the aptamer was proposed to fold into an antiparallel structure. Here we probed an apparent discrepancy between the NMR structure and the quadruplex topology suggested by circular dichroism (CD). Systematic thermodynamic analyses of d(GGGT)(4) and variants containing sequence modifications or missing specific nucleotides are consistent with a parallel quadruplex fold. CD studies carried out over a wide concentration range did not support a possible structural transition upon increasing strand concentration. Taken together, both optical and thermodynamic studies performed here strongly support a parallel fold for the d(GGGT)(4) aptamer.
