Polynucleotide chains obeying Watson-Crick pairing are apt to form non-canonical complexes such as triple-helical nucleic acids. From early characterization in vitro, their occurrence in vivo has been strengthened by increasing evidence, although most remain circumstantial particularly for triplex DNA. Here, different approaches were employed to specify triple-stranded DNA sequences in the Drosophila melanogaster chromosomes. Antibodies to triplex nucleic acids, previously characterized, bind to centromeric regions of mitotic chromosomes and also to the polytene section 59E of mutant strains carrying the brown dominant allele, indicating that AAGAG tandem satellite repeats are triplex-forming sequences. The satellite probe hybridized to AAGAG-containing regions omitting chromosomal DNA denaturation, as expected, for the intra-molecular triplex DNA formation model in which single-stranded DNA coexists with triplexes. In addition, Thiazole Orange, previously described as capable of reproducing results obtained by antibodies to triple-helical DNA, binds to AAGAG repeats in situ thus validating both detection methods. Unusual phenotype and nuclear structure exhibited by Drosophila correlate with the non-canonical conformation of tandem satellite arrays. From the approaches that lead to the identification of triple-helical DNA in chromosomes, facilities particularly provided by Thiazole Orange use may broaden the investigation on the occurrence of triplex DNA in eukaryotic genomes.

Coralyne has been shown previously to bind well to both T∙A∙T- and C∙G∙C+-containing triplexes. Derivatives of coralyne were prepared and their binding to poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT) and poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]∙poly[d(C+T)] was assessed from thermal denaturation profiles. A tetraethoxy derivative showed only weak binding to both types of triplex. Analogues with extended 8-alkyl chains showed good binding to poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT), but the preference for triplex poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]∙poly[d(C+T)] was decreased compared with the duplex. Sanguinarine, a related alkaloid, bound well to poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT) but only weakly to the protonated triplex. It is hypothesized that the position of the protonated nitrogen ring is important for binding to poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]∙poly[d(C+T)]. A series of other chromophores was studied and only those with a positive charge bound to triplexes. All of these bound well to poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT) but only weakly if at all to the duplex poly(dA)∙poly(dT). In contrast, most of them did not bind well to the triplex poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]∙poly[d(C+T)] and those that did still showed a preference for duplex poly[d(TC)]∙poly[d(GA)]. In general, preference for triplex poly(dT)∙poly(dA)∙poly(dT) compared with the duplex is a common feature of intercalating drugs. On the other hand, specificity for protonated triplexes may be very difficult to achieve.Key words: triplex DNA, DNA-binding drugs, intercalation.
