We have recently shown that a (GA)n.(TC)n tract undergoes a sharp structural transition under superhelical stress (V.I. Lyamichev, S.M. Mirkin and M.D. Frank-Kamenetskii, J. Biomol. Struct. Dyn. 2,327 (1985]. Unlike the well studied transitions to the cruciform and to the Z form, this novel transition was strongly pH-dependent. We have found the (dG)n.(dC)n insert to undergo a pH-dependent structural transition similar to that of the (GA)n.(TC)n tract. These new data meet our earlier expectations and disagree with the data of D.E. Pulleyblank, D.B. Haniford and A.R. Morgan, Cell 42, 271 (1985). We conclude that a novel DNA structure (the H-form) is typical of homopurine-homopyrimidine mirror repeats (the H palindromes) under superhelical stress and/or acid pH. In the H-form the homopyrimidine strand forms a hairpin while half of the homopurine strand interacts with the hairpin forming a triplex, the other half of the homopurine strand being unstructured (V.I. Lyamichev, S.M. Mirkin and M.D. Frank-Kamenetskii, J. Biomol. Struct. Dyn. 2, 3, 667 (1986].
