Exploiting anthracene photodimerization within peptides: light induced sequence-selective DNA binding.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The unprecedented use of anthracene photodimerization within a protein or peptide system is explored through its incorporation into a DNA-binding peptide, derived from the GCN4 transcription factor. This study demonstrates an effective and dynamic interplay between a photoreaction and a peptide-DNA assembly, with each process able to exert control over the other.

Photocontrolled Binding and Binding-Controlled Photochromism within Anthracene-Modified DNA
Modified DNA strands undergo a reversible light-induced reaction involving the intramolecular photodimerization of two appended anthracene tags. The photodimers exhibit markedly different binding behavior toward a complementary strand that depends on the number of bases between the modified positions. By preforming the duplex, photochromism can be suppressed, illustrating dual-mode gated behavior.
متن کاملTemplate-assisted photodimerization of N-unprotected uracil derivatives: selective formation of the cis-syn photodimer.
A UV light-induced photodimerization of 5-[(imidazol-1-yl)methyl]uracil using glutamate- and aspartate-derived cyclic dipeptides (2,5-diketopiperazines - DKPs) as templates was investigated. Dual salt bridge formation between imidazole side chains and carboxylic acids resulted in the preorganization of the uracil monomers and the preferential formation of the cis-syn photodimer.
متن کاملEfficiency of [2 + 2] photodimerization of various stilbene derivatives within the DNA duplex scaffold.
A DNA duplex was used as a scaffold to evaluate the intrinsic reactivity of [2 + 2] photodimerization between stilbene derivatives; the duplex pre-organizes the substrates avoiding the need for an association step. Unmodified stilbenes were first introduced at base-pairing positions on complementary DNA strands. The duplex was then irradiated with 340 nm UV light. HPLC analyses revealed that [2...
متن کاملAn organogel system can control the stereochemical course of anthracene photodimerization.
A novel photoresponsive organogel with a binary gelator containing 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid shows a high degree of stereochemical control, resulting in head-to-head photocyclodimers exclusively together with significant enantiomeric excess induced by the chiral counterpart of the gelator.
متن کاملEnantioselective [4+4] photodimerization of anthracene-2,6-dicarboxylic acid mediated by a C2-symmetric chiral template.
A chiral template was constructed from 7-ethynyl-1,5,7-trimethyl-3-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-2-one by Sonogashira cross-coupling with 4,4''-diiodoterphenyl and was shown to bind the title compound strongly by hydrogen bonding resulting in enantioselectivities of up to 55% enantiomeric excess (ee) in the [4+4] anthracene photodimerization.
