- W119100554 abstract "Metal ions fold DNA junctions into a compact conformation that confers protection of all thymine bases to modification by osmium tetroxide. In the absence of the cation the arms of the junction are fully extended in an approximately square-planar configuration. Group IIa cations are effective in achieving a folded conformation of the junction at 80-100 microM, and there is an excellent agreement between the ionic concentrations that fold the junctions as deduced from gel electrophoretic experiments, and those that prevent osmium tetroxide reaction at the junction. Hexamminecobalt(III) achieves full folding at 2 microM, while spermine and spermidine are effective at 25 microM. Some transition metal ions such as Ni(II) may replace the group IIA cations. Monovalent ions of group IA are only partially effective in folding the junctions. Very much higher concentrations are necessary, gel electrophoretic mobilities suggest that a less symmetrical conformation is adopted and thymine bases at the junction remain reactive to osmium tetroxide. Charge-charge interactions at the centre of the junction are structurally extremely important. Substitution of junction phosphate groups by uncharged methyl phosphonates severely perturbs the structure of the junction. If just two phosphates are substituted, diametrically facing across the junction, the structure always folds in order to place the electrically neutral phosphate on the exchanging strands. We suggest that folding of the junction into the stacked X-structure generates electronegative clefts that can selectively bind metal ions, depending on the chemistry, size and charge of the ion. Moreover, occupation of these cavities is essential for junction folding, in order to reduce electrostatic repulsion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)" @default.
