(A-T)n tracts embedded in random sequence DNA--formation of a structure which is chemically reactive and torsionally deformable.

Abstract

Alternating d(A-T)n sequences which are contiguous with DNA of effectively random sequence have an abnormal conformation in linear DNA molecules. These regions are strongly reactive towards chemical modification by osmium tetroxide, and are preferentially cleaved by micrococcal nuclease. Both the chemical modification and the enzymic cutting occur uniformly through the alternating tract, and there is no evidence for enzyme or chemical sensitivity in the interfaces between the tract and DNA of normal conformation. These reactivities have a requirement for an alternating sequence. In addition to chemical reactivity, alternating (A-T)n sequences exhibit anomalously small twist changes on cruciform formation, suggesting that the pre-extruded DNA is underwound. We propose that the alternating sequences adopt an altered conformation which is subject to easy torsional deformation.
