Selective Inhibition of Bacterial Topoisomerase I by alkynyl-bisbenzimidazoles.

چکیده
Hoechst dyes are well known DNA binders that non-selectively inhibit the function of mammalian topoisomerase I and II. Herein, we show that Hoechst 33258 based bisbenzimidazoles (DPA 151-154), containing a terminal alkyne, are effective and selective inhibitors of E. coli. topoisomerase I. These bisbenzimidazoles displayed topoisomerase I inhibition much better than Hoechst 33342 or Hoechst 33258 with IC50 values in the range of 2.47-6.63 μM. Bisbenzimidazoles DPA 151-154 also display selective inhibition of E. coli. topoisomerase I over DNA gyrase and Human topoisomerases I and II, and effectively inhibit bacterial growth.

Role of DNA topoisomerase I in the transcription of supercoiled rRNA gene.
The fraction DE-B obtained by fractionating an extract from rat mammary adenocarcinoma cells on a DEAE-Sephadex column was used for transcribing linear and supercoiled rRNA gene (rDNA). This fraction, which is known to contain RNA polymerase I and essential transcription factors, also contains DNA topoisomerase I activity. Inhibition of this topoisomerase activity by the selective inhibitor cam...
متن کاملAnticancer activity of some bisbenzimidazoles.
The discovery of DNA topoisomerases has added a new dimension to the study of anticancer drugs. Bisbenzimidazole derivatives are important compounds known as DNA topoisomerase I inhibitors. In the present study, some symmetrical bisbenzimidazole derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their anticancer activity. Anticancer activity screening was applied on HT-29 (colon carcinoma) and M...
متن کاملMutation adjacent to the active site tyrosine can enhance DNA cleavage and cell killing by the TOPRIM Gly to Ser mutant of bacterial topoisomerase I
The TOPRIM DXDXXG residues of type IA and II topoisomerases are involved in Mg(II) binding and the cleavage-rejoining of DNA. Mutation of the strictly conserved glycine to serine in Yersinia pestis and Escherichia coli topoisomerase I results in bacterial cell killing due to inhibition of DNA religation after DNA cleavage. In this study, all other substitutions at the TOPRIM glycine of Y. pesti...
متن کاملInhibition of Mg2+ binding and DNA religation by bacterial topoisomerase I via introduction of an additional positive charge into the active site region
Among bacterial topoisomerase I enzymes, a conserved methionine residue is found at the active site next to the nucleophilic tyrosine. Substitution of this methionine residue with arginine in recombinant Yersinia pestis topoisomerase I (YTOP) was the only substitution at this position found to induce the SOS response in Escherichia coli. Overexpression of the M326R mutant YTOP resulted in appro...
متن کاملSelective dye-labeling of newly synthesized proteins in bacterial cells.
We describe fluorescence labeling of newly synthesized proteins in Escherichia coli cells by means of Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition between alkynyl amino acid side chains and the fluorogenic dye 3-azido-7-hydroxycoumarin. The method involves co-translational labeling of proteins by the non-natural amino acids homopropargylglycine (Hpg) or ethynylphenylalanine (Eth) followed by treatment with th...
