Identification of I:A mismatch base-pairing structure in DNA

S Uesugi, Y Oda, M Ikehara, Y Kawase and E Ohtsuka

Deoxyoligonucleotides containing deoxyinosine residues at positions corresponding to ambiguous nucleotides derived from an amino acid sequence have been successfully used as hybridization probes. It is assumed that the hypoxanthine residue can make base pairs with multiple bases. In order to obtain direct evidence for I:A base-pairing, a self- complementary deoxyoligonucleotide, d(G-G-I-A-C-C), was synthesized and its properties were examined by NMR spectroscopy. Three hydrogen-bonded imino proton resonances are observed at low temperatures in H2O suggesting the formation of a self-duplex with complete base pairing. Nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) experiments showed that a signal at 15.1 ppm originated from the imino proton (H1) of the dI residue (I3) which is hydrogen-bonded to the dA residue (A4). Both the I3 and A4 residues were assumed to have taken an anti glycosidic conformation since irradiating the H1 of I3 gave NOEs both to its own H2 and to that of A4, an NOE also being observed between the H2 protons of I3 and A4. Comparison of the 31P NMR spectra of d(G-G-I-A-C-C) and d(G-G-I-C-C-C) showed the backbone structure of d(G-G-I-A-C-C) to have been disturbed by the presence of purine:purine base pairs in the middle of the hexamer duplex.
