Zhongyi Dai, Gerald A. Thomas, Elisabeth Evertsz, and WarnerL. Peticolas* Department of Chemistry and Institute of Molecular Biology, University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon 97403 Received February 21, 1989; Revised Manuscript Received May 4, 1989 abstract: Recently it has been suggested that double-helical complexes formed between the DNA sequences (CG)„(A) m and their conjugates,(T) m (CG)„, would be candidates for the formation of a BZ junction in aqueous solution at high salt concentrations [Peticolas et al.(1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 2579-2583]. The junction was predicted to occur between a B-type helix in the d (A) md (T) m section and a Z-type helix inthe self-complementary (CG)„-(CG)„sequence. In thispaper we report Raman experiments on the deoxyoligonucleotides d (CGCGCGCGCGCGAAAAA) and d (CGCGCGAAAAA) and their com-plements. It is found the latter compound cannot be induced into the Z form in saturated salt solution but that the former sequence goes into a BZ junction at 5.5 M salt. From a comparison of the relativeintensity of the Raman conformational marker bands for B and Z DNA for both the AT and CG base pairs, it is shown that in 5.5 M NaCl solution none of the AT base pairs are in the Z form, but nine of the CG base pairs are in the Z form. The remaining three CG base pairs are either in the junction or in the B form. Thus, the junction is formed from three or less CG base pairs. If the solution is made 95 µ with NiCl2, thenthe entire duplex goes into the Z form and the Raman bands of the adenine are completely changed into those of the Z form. A similar three base pair BZ junction has recently been reported by Sheardy and Winkle [(1989) Biochemistry 28, 720-725], who used different base sequences for both the B and Z tracts. This indicates that the short BZ junction length may be independent of the base sequence.DNA-protein interaction appears to be governed by the sequence of hydrogen-donating and-accepting groups that occur along the major and minor grooves of the DNA (Seeman et al., 1976; Berg & von Hippel, 1987). When DNA is in its canonical B form, the distances between the hydrogen-bond-
