Recently we reported that a DNA fragment, GCCAAAGC, forms an extraordinarily stable hairpin structure with two G-C pairs at the terminus and A-A-A stacked structure. The sequence is present at the replication origin of bacteriophage G4 ssDNA, and so on. Several kinds of possible hairpin structures, corresponding to the replication origin of phage G4, were synthesized and their secondary structures were examined. It was found that the fragments are able to form interconvertible hairpin structures depending on the length of the base-paired regions. The hairpin structure consisting of GCGAAAGC was not digested by the exonuclease activity of T4 DNA polymerase and it was stable enough to be only minimally bound by a single-stranded DNA binding protein.
