Three-dimensional structure of the wild-type lac Pribnow promoter DNA in solution. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance studies and distance geometry calculations.

Abstract：

:The solution structure of a 12 base-pair DNA duplex containing the wt-lac promoter Pribnow sequence TATGTT has been studied by two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Proton assignments for the 24 sugar and base residues were obtained from two-dimensional correlated nuclear magnetic resonance and two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectra in both 2H2O and H2O, and by two-dimensional relayed coherence transfer nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy experiments. Time-dependent, two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect spectra were used to determine the initial cross-relaxation rates between 212 pairs of assigned protons, leading to 212 interproton distances in the double helix (8 to 9 per nucleotide). These distance constraints, and known bond lengths and angles, were entered into a distance matrix. After smoothing the bounds of the distance matrix, 12 trial matrices within the bounds constraints were independently generated and embedded in three-dimensional space using a distance geometry algorithm, to generate 12 trial structures. These trial structures were then refined until they no longer violated the distance matrix. The resulting structures are very similar at the local base-pair and nearest-neighbor base-pair level, but exhibit increasing variation at more distant and global levels. At the nearest-neighbor level, the A to T step and the G to T step within the Pribnow hexamer, as well as the G to T step preceding the hexamer, all exhibit very low screw pitch, i.e. 5(+/- 6) degrees. Conversely, the T to G step in the center of the promoter has a large screw pitch (47(+/- 2) degrees) and the T to G step at the 3' end of the promoter has a very large screw pitch (60(+/- 3) degrees). The limitations of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy distance determination of structure are discussed in terms of resolution and spectral overlap of two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect crosspeaks. In the present duplex, the inability to measure several 1'-2' and 1'-2" distances resulted in underdetermination of the precise local sugar conformation for seven of the 24 residues, although the spatial position of all sugars was well defined.
