Double strand DNA cleavage with a binuclear iron complex.
Covalently linking two single strand DNA cleaving agents resulted in a new biomimetic binuclear iron complex capable of effecting oxidative double strand DNA cleavage.
متن کاملIron(III)-salen complexes with less DNA cleavage activity exhibit more efficient apoptosis in MCF7 cells.
To understand the relationship between DNA damage potential and biochemical activities, we synthesized nine different Fe(III)-salen derivatives with varying substituents, and analyzed their in vitro DNA cleavage properties and biochemical effects on cultured human cells. Our results demonstrated that Fe(III)-salen complexes affect cell viability, induce nuclear fragmentation, and activate caspa...
متن کاملHistoplasma capsulatum secreted gamma-glutamyltransferase reduces iron by generating an efficient ferric reductant.
The intracellular fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc) resides in mammalian macrophages and causes respiratory and systemic disease. Iron limitation is an important host antimicrobial defence, and iron acquisition is critical for microbial pathogenesis. Hc displays several iron acquisition mechanisms, including secreted glutathione-dependent ferric reductase activity (GSH-FeR). We purifi...
متن کاملIron(II)-mimosine catalyzed cleavage of DNA.
Mimosine, DNA breaKs, Free Radicals, Fenton Reaction Supercoiled plasmid DNA was treated in vitro with H2O2, DTT and either Fe (II), Fe (II)-EDTA or Fe (II)-mimosine. The rate of DNA break formation was followed by the conversion of the supercoiled form into relaxed-circular and linear forms. In the concentration interval of 0-4 microM Fe (II), Fe (II)-EDTA slowed-down the formation of DNA brea...
متن کاملTernary iron(II) complex with an emissive imidazopyridine arm from Schiff base cyclizations and its oxidative DNA cleavage activity.
The ternary iron(II) complex [Fe(L')(L")](PF6)3(1) as a synthetic model for the bleomycins, where L' and L" are formed from metal-mediated cyclizations of N,N'-(2-hydroxypropane-1,3-diyl)bis(pyridine-2-aldimine)(L), is synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. In the six-coordinate iron(ii) complex, ligands L' and L" show tetradentate and bidentate chelating modes of ...
