G-quadruplexes can multimerize under certain conditions, but the sequence
requirements of such structures are not well understood. In this study, we
investigated the ability of all possible variants of the central tetrad in a
monomeric, parallel-strand G-quadruplex to form higher-order structures. Although
most of these 256 variants existed primarily as monomers under the conditions of
our screen, ?10% formed dimers or tetramers. These structures could form in a
wide range of monovalent and divalent metal ions, and folding was highly
cooperative in both KCl and MgCl2. As was previously shown for G-quadruplexes
that bind GTP and promote peroxidase reactions, G-quadruplexes that form dimers
and tetramers have distinct sequence requirements. Some mutants could also form
heteromultimers, and a second screen was performed to characterize the sequence
requirements of these structures. Taken together, these experiments provide new
insights into the sequence requirements and structures of both homomultimeric and
heteromultimeric G-quadruplexes.
