Sequence-selective binding of an ellipticine derivative to DNA.
The DNA sequence specificity of an ellipticine derivative bearing an aminoalkyl side chain has been determined by a variety of footprinting methods. The drug exhibits sequence selective binding and discriminates against runs of adenines or thymines. Binding is shown to occur at various sequences with a preference for GC rich regions of DNA. A large enhancement of DNAase I and of hydroxyl radica...
متن کاملPyrrolobenzodiazepines as Sequence Selective DNA Binding Agents
The heritability of cancers is usually affected by complex interactions between carcinogens and the host's genome. New aspects of the genetics of cancer pathogenesis, such as DNA methylation, and micro RNAs are increasingly recognized as important events. Chemotherapeutic drugs interfere with cell division in different ways, e.g. with the duplication of DNA or the separation of newly formed chr...
متن کاملSequence-selective binding to DNA of bis(amidinophenoxy)alkanes related to propamidine and pentamidine.
The DNA sequences targeted by a complete homologous series of aromatic diamidines have been determined at single-nucleotide resolution via protection from cutting by the endonucleases DNase I, DNase II and micrococcal nuclease. Propamidine, pentamidine and to a lesser extent hexamidine bind selectively to nucleotide sequences composed of at least four consecutive A-T base pairs. In contrast, th...
متن کاملSequence-specific binding of luzopeptin to DNA.
We have examined the binding of luzopeptin, an antitumor antibiotic, to five DNA fragments of varying base composition. The drug forms a tight, possibly covalent, complex with the DNA causing a reduction in mobility on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels and some smearing of the bands consistent with intramolecular cross-linking of DNA duplexes. DNAase I and micrococcal nuclease footprinting expe...
متن کاملBINDING OF THE ANTITUMOR DRUG ADRIAMYCIN TO DNA-HISTONE COMPLEXES
Isotherms of the binding of the anthracycIine antibiotic, adriamycin (adriblastin), to DNA histone complexes was studied by means of spectroscopic analysis. The results indicated that: (a) binding of adriamycin to histones reduced the interaction of histones with DNA, (b) binding of the drug to DNA did not change the binding affinity of histone to DNA and, (c) in the explored binding range...
