Title Dna g-Quartets in a 1.86 a resolution structure of an oxytricha nova telomeric protein-Dna complex.
Authors M.P.Horvath, S.C.Schultz.

Abstract
The Oxytricha nova telomere end binding protein (OnTEBP) recognizes, binds and protects the single-stranded 3'-terminal DNA extension found at the ends of macronuclear chromosomes. The structure of this complex shows that the single strand GGGGTTTTGGGG DNA binds in a deep cleft between the two protein subunits of OnTEBP, adopting a non-helical and irregular conformation. In extending the resolution limit of this structure to 1.86 A, we were surprised to find a G-quartet linked dimer of the GGGGTTTTGGGG DNA also packing within the crystal lattice and interacting with the telomere end binding protein. The G-quartet DNA exhibits the same structure and topology as previously observed in solution by NMR with diagonally crossing d(TTTT) loops at either end of the four-stranded helix. Additionally, the crystal structure reveals clearly visible Na(+), and specific patterns of bound water molecules in the four non-equivalent grooves. Although the G-quartet:protein contact surfaces are modest and might simply represent crystal packing interactions, it is interesting to speculate that the two types of telomeric DNA-protein interactions observed here might both be important in telomere biology.

Figure 4. Hydration of the G-quartet linked G[4]T[4]G[4] DNA dimer. Electron density maps and schematic representations are shown side-by-side for water molecules bound in the four grooves. The electron density map is colored gray for the DNA grooves and blue for the water molecules. In the schematic phosphorous atoms are colored yellow, non-bridging phosphate oxygen atoms are red, N2 (and N3 if shown) atoms are green, the C8 atom is gray, water molecules are cyan for 1–2 σ peaks in the S.A. omit electron density maps and dark blue for>2 σ peaks. The deoxyribose group is a pentagon and the bases are represented as rectangles. The position in the 5′ → 3′ sequence and the syn/anti conformation about the N-glycosyl bond of each base is indicated. From top to bottom the grooves are the (a) wide groove (10 Å across), (b) intermediate I (4.6 Å across), (c) narrow (3.0 Å across), and (d) intermediate II (4.6 Å across). The two intermediate grooves and associated hydration patterns are pseudo 2-fold symmetric, so each DNA-water interaction is corroborated by two independent observations. In solution, the wide and narrow grooves are each pseudo 2-fold symmetric, but water interactions are not exactly repeated in the top and bottom halves of these two grooves presumably because of protein and lattice interactions.

Figure 5. Distribution of waters interacting with N3, N2, and C8 groups of the G bases. (a) All 16 G-G base-pairs are superimposed and shown as a generalized G-G pair. The number of observations for each hydration site is indicated. (b) The N2-water-O4' bridge and the C8-water-OP bridge are shown for the anti-anti G-G configuration. (c) The N2-water-OP bridge and (d) the C8-water-O4' bridge are other examples of bidentate water interactions and each of these bridges involves a base in the syn conformation.

Figure 2.
Figure 2. Oligonucleotide/Oligosaccharide–Binding (OB) Folds within On TEBPThe four OB folds of On TEBP are shown in the top row. Residue limits for each OB fold of On TEBP are indicated and the labels are colored as in Figure 1: light purple and dark purple for the two OB folds of the α N-terminal domain, green for the α C-terminal domain, and blue for β. The OB folds from the α N-terminal domain and β subunit each interact with the single strand telomeric DNA, shown as a gray stick model. The OB fold from the α C-terminal domain is shown complexed with the extended peptide loop of the β subunit, shown as a blue stick model. For comparison, the originally described ( [32]) examples of the OB fold are shown in the bottom row. These are the B subunit of verotoxin-1 from E. coli, the anticodon-binding domain of aspartyl-tRNA synthetase complexed with tRNA, staphylococcal nuclease complexed with the Ca^2+-pTp inhibitor, and fd gene V protein. The strands and loops of the OB fold are colored as follows: strand S1 in blue; strand S2 in cyan; strand S3 in yellow; loop L[3–4] and the intervening helix H, if present, in green; strand S4 in orange; and strand S5 in red.

Figure 3. Protein–Protein Interactions in On TEBP(A) Surface representation of the protein–protein association. α is shown as a solvent-accessible surfaceβ is shown as an α-carbon trace in blue, and the ssDNA is shown as a ribbon with boxes for the base groups (yellow, G; blue, T). A large groove that associates with helix C[β] of β is apparent, as are the surfaces that interact with the extended peptide loop of β. Two leucine residues at the surface of α that interact with the N-terminal portion of helix C[β] are indicated by the colored patches on α, with purple showing the location of L236[α] and green showing the location of L330[α]. Three residues at the C-terminal region of helix C[β] form a hydrophobic ridge, and these are shown in blue. From the middle of helix C[β] to the C-terminal end these residues are L156[β], I160[β], and V164[β].(B) Detailed view of the residues at the protein–protein interface. Notice how helix C[β] of β (blue) bridges the N-terminal (purple) and C-terminal (green) domains of α. The peptide loop of β follows directly after the last turn of this helix (residue V164[β]). Hydrophobic side chains (gray) close to the surface of the α C-terminal domain create two hydrophobic patches that align with clusters of hydrophobic residues located along this extended peptide loop of β.
