Synthesis, Characterization, DNA Binding and Nuclease Activity of Cobalt(II) Complexes of Isonicotinoyl Hydrazones
Cobalt(II) complexes of isonicotinoyl hydrazones of two series of ligands have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, molar conductance, magnetic moment, mass, IR, UV spectral data. Electrochemical behavior of ligands and complexes has been investigated by using cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetric studies reveal that the oxidation/reduct...
متن کاملDNA mismatch binding and antiproliferative activity of rhodium metalloinsertors.
Deficiencies in mismatch repair (MMR) are associated with carcinogenesis. Rhodium metalloinsertors bind to DNA base mismatches with high specificity and inhibit cellular proliferation preferentially in MMR-deficient cells versus MMR-proficient cells. A family of chrysenequinone diimine complexes of rhodium with varying ancillary ligands that serve as DNA metalloinsertors has been synthesized, a...
متن کاملPurification of the yeast Slx5–Slx8 protein complex and characterization of its DNA-binding activity
SLX5 and SLX8 encode RING-finger proteins that were previously identified based on their requirement for viability in yeast cells lacking Sgs1 DNA helicase. Slx5 and Slx8 proteins are known to be required for genome stability and to physically interact in yeast extracts; however, their biochemical functions are unknown. To address this question we purified and characterized recombinant Slx5 and...
متن کاملMammalian mitochondrial extracts possess DNA end-binding activity.
Mammalian mitochondrial protein extracts possess DNA end-binding (DEB) activity. Protein binding to a 394 bp double-stranded DNA molecule was measured using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Mitochondrial DEB activity was highly specific for linear DNA. Inclusion of a vast excess of non-radioactive circular DNA did not disrupt binding to radioactive f394. In contrast, binding was abolish...
متن کاملEnzymatic Activity Assays in Yeast Cell Extracts.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) (commonly known as baker's yeast) is a model organism that has a similar upstream base excision repair (BER) pathway for the repair of methylated bases as that in mammalian cells, and it is very easy to maintain in the laboratory environment. Here, we described a method to prepare cell extracts from yeast to investigate their enzymatic activities. This p...
