CD spectroscopy on the double-stranded strictly alternating dinucleotide polymer (dT-dG)n . (dC-dA)n partially modified by N-acetoxy-N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene suggests a left-handed conformation in concentrated NaCl solutions. Modification of the (dT-dG)n . (dC-dA)n polymer with acetylaminofluorene is required to promote formation of the left-handed helix since high salt concentrations and several other ionic conditions, which cause a similar transition for (dG-dC)n . (dG-dC)n, are ineffective. Furthermore, substitution of dC with 5-methyl dC in (dT-dG)n . (dC-dA)n does not facilitate formation of a left-handed helix, also in contrast to results found for (dG-dC)n . (dG-dC)n. A 62-base pair tract of almost perfectly alternating (dT-dG)n . (dC-dA)n from the 3'-side of the mouse kappa immunoglobulin gene modified with acetylaminofluorene undergoes the salt-induced transition to a left-handed helix when studied within a 140-base pair restriction fragment. High NaCl concentrations alone will not cause the transition for this 62-base pair tract in this fragment nor in the recombinant plasmid pRW777, which contains this fragment.
对经N - 乙酰氧基 - N - 乙酰 - 2 - 氨基芴部分修饰的双链严格交替二核苷酸聚合物(dT - dG)n·(dC - dA)n进行圆二色光谱分析表明,在浓氯化钠溶液中其呈左手构象。用乙酰氨基芴对(dT - dG)n·(dC - dA)n聚合物进行修饰是促进左手螺旋形成所必需的,因为高盐浓度和其他几种离子条件对(dG - dC)n·(dG - dC)n会引起类似的转变,但对(dT - dG)n·(dC - dA)n却无效。此外,在(dT - dG)n·(dC - dA)n中用5 - 甲基dC取代dC也不利于左手螺旋的形成,这同样与(dG - dC)n·(dG - dC)n的结果相反。当在一个140碱基对的限制片段中进行研究时,来自小鼠κ免疫球蛋白基因3'侧的一段几乎完美交替的(dT - dG)n·(dC - dA)n的62碱基对片段,经乙酰氨基芴修饰后会发生盐诱导的向左手螺旋的转变。单独的高氯化钠浓度不会导致该片段中这62碱基对片段发生转变,在含有该片段的重组质粒pRW777中也不会发生这种转变。
