Given the suggested regulatory role of G4s in gene expression, G-quadruplex formation for the polymorphic first repeat of the minisatellite was studied by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A stable G-quadruplex of a truncated mutant sequence was shown to represent one of several coexisting species of the wild-type sequence. The high-resolution structure features a noncanonical G4 with a broken G-column and a V-shaped loop. The presence of a 3'-flanking thymidine interacting with the lateral loop preceding the V loop seems to be critical for the formation of this G4 topology. On the contrary, an additional 5'-flanking residue disfavored but still allowed folding into the V-loop structure. The latter may therefore serve as a putative therapeutic target in strategies for G4-based modulation of KCNN4 expression.
