The structure of a stable intermediate in the A <--> B DNA helix transition.

  ABSTRACT  
 
The DNA dodecamer CATGGGCCCATG in a crystal structure of resolution 1.3 A has a conformation intermediate between A and B DNA. This trapping of a stable intermediate suggests that the A and B DNA families are not discrete, as previously believed. The structure supports a base-centered rather than a backbone-centered mechanism for the A <--> B transition mediated by guanine tracts. Interconversion between A and B DNA provides another means for regulating protein-DNA recognition.

Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Side and top views to the same scale of ideal A DNA (a and d), G[3]C[3] or CATGGGCCCATG (b and e), and ideal B DNA (c and f). Ideal structures are taken from fiber diffraction data (10).
Figure 5.
Fig. 5. Calladine-Drew base-centered mechanism for the B-to-A helix transition. (a) B DNA with neither slide nor roll. (b) B DNA with addition of a 1.5-Å slide. (c) B DNA with addition of a +12° roll. (d) A DNA, resulting from addition of both slide and roll to B DNA. The G[3]C[3] helix corresponds to the helix in b and can be regarded as a B DNA helix to which slide has been added but not roll. Conversely, it can be thought of as A DNA from which roll has been removed. Figures were created with NUSTAR (X.-J. Lu and W. K. Olson, unpublished work).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
