CD spectra of selected oligonucleotides representing the parts of LTRs with wild-type and mutant PQS. a CD spectra of oligonucleotides representing wild-type PQS within LTRs from various LTR retrotransposons obtained at different concentrations of potassium ions. The peak at 265 nm corresponds to a parallel-stranded quadruplex. Sketches correspond to the most probable folding of the dominating quadruplex structure according to CD and electrophoretic results. b CD spectra of oligonucleotides representing mutant PQS within LTRs of various LTR retrotransposons. c CD spectra of Huck LTR retrotransposon having a control CG to TC substitution in G4 loop. d Native gel electrophoresis of oligonucleotides in the presence of 150 mM KCl at 28 °C, length of oligonucleotides is indicated below names
