The sequence-specific formation of R-loops can be assayed using RNAs which overlap a HindIII cleavage site in a 3.5 kb plasmid. Chemical modification of the displaced DNA strand has permitted stabilization of these R-loops and allowed a systematic investigation of the dependence of these triple-stranded structures on the chain length and structure of the input RNA. RNAs as short as 50 nt form stable R-loops if 5-allylamine uridines (Uaa-RNA) are used in place of normal uridines; normal RNAs must be 100 nt long to form R-loops quantitatively. Since acetic anhydride decreases the hybridization efficiency of Uaa-RNAs, the positive charge of the RNAs must diminish the electrostatic repulsion of the three negatively charged phosphodiester backbones. The dependence of R-loop stability on the length of RNA can be stimulated with a random walk model, which also applies to strand migration within Holiday junctions. R-loop hybridization provides a versatile method to generate single-stranded DNA in a sequence-selective manner.
