Mechanism of interaction of CC-1065 (NSC 298223) with DNA.

چکیده
CC-1065 (NSC 298223), a potent new antitumor antibiotic produced by Streptomyces zelensis, interacts strongly with double-stranded DNA and appears to exert its cytotoxic effects through disruption of DNA synthesis. We undertook this study to elucidate the sites and mechanisms of CC-1065 interaction with DNA. The binding of CC-1065 to synthetic and native DNA was examined by differential circular dichroism or by Sephadex chromatography with photometric detection. The binding of CC-1065 with calf thymus DNA was rapid, being complete within 2 hr, and saturated at 1 drug per 7 to 11 base pairs. The interaction of CC-1065 with synthetic DNA polymers indicated a specificity for adenine- and thymine-rich sites. Agarose gel electrophoresis of CC-1065-treated supercoiled DNA showed that CC-1065 did not intercalate. Site exclusion studies using substitutions in the DNA grooves showed CC-1065 to bind primarily in the minor groove. CC-1065 did not cause DNA breaks; it inhibited susceptibility of DNA to nuclease S1 digestion. It raised the thermal melting temperature of DNA, and it inhibited the ethidium-induced unwinding of DNA. Thus, in contrast to many antitumor agents, CC-1065 stabilized the DNA helix. DNA helix overstabilization may be relevant to the mechanism of action of CC-1065.

A new antitumor antibiotic is produced in fermentation liquors of Streptomyces zelensis sp.n. The antibiotic is biologically active at extremely low concentrations. At 40 pg/ml, it inhibited 90% of the growth of L1210 cells in culture in tube dilution assays. The minimal inhibitory concentrations against Gram-positive bacteria is between 1 approximately 10 ng/ml, while these values for Gram-neg...

CC-1065 is a potent antitumor antibiotic which is cytotoxic to P388 and L1210 leukemia cells in vitro and in vivo. CC-1065 covalently binds to calf thymus DNA preferentially to adenine-thymine regions at N3 of adenine. Here, we compare CC-1065 interaction with P388-derived chromatin, DNA, and histones as measured by electronic absorption and circular dichroism. Two CC-1065 analogues (U-71,184 a...
متن کاملTheoretical study of the sequence specificity in the covalent binding of the antitumor drug CC-1065 to DNA.
A theoretical modelling is presented of the covalent adducts of the antitumor agent CC-1065 with B-DNA. The optimal complexes are obtained by energy minimisation, taking into account full structure flexibility, including the flexible rings of the ligand and DNA. The binding preference of CC-1065 with respect to base sequence is studied. The results obtained elucidate the origin of the preferenc...

CC-1065 is a potent antitumor antibiotic produced by Streptomyces zelensis. The drug binds covalently through N-3 of adenine and lies within the minor groove of DNA. Previous studies indicated that CC-1065 reacted with adenine in DNA to yield a thermally labile product that could be used to reveal its sequence specificity. These studies also provided insight into a DNA sequence (5'-CGGAGTTAGGGG...
