Sac7d, a small, abundant, sequence-general DNA-binding protein from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius, causes a single-step sharp kink in DNA (approximately 60 degrees) via the intercalation of both Val26 and Met29. These two amino acids were systematically changed in size to probe their effects on DNA kinking. Eight crystal structures of five Sac7d mutant-DNA complexes h...
A library of azonia aromatic cations has been studied in order to gain insights into the effect of the size, shape and charge distribution on the fluorescence, DNA interactions and DNA sequence selectivity properties. Fluorescence-based thermal denaturation experiments, spectrofluorimetric titrations, circular dichroism measurements and theoretical simulations have shown that some of the studie...
Ethidium bromide intercalation strongly effects the circular dichroism spectrum of DNA in the region of 230-300 mu, in a complex manner. In this report we present a study that quantitizes the relationships of the circular dichroism spectrum in the region of 230-300 mu and the ethidium bromide induced optical activity centered around 308 mu. We present evidence of two hidden cooperative bands th...
Mitochondrial superoxide (O2⋅-) underlies much oxidative damage and redox signaling. Fluorescent probes can detect O2⋅-, but are of limited applicability in vivo, while in cells their usefulness is constrained by side reactions and DNA intercalation. To overcome these limitations, we developed a dual-purpose mitochondrial O2⋅- probe, MitoNeoD, which can assess O2⋅- changes in vivo by mass spect...
In this article, we study how intercalation-induced changes in chromatin and DNA topology affect chromosomal DNA replication using Xenopus egg extracts. Unexpectedly, intercalation by ethidium or doxorubicin prevents formation of a functional nucleus: although nucleosome formation occurs, DNA decondensation is arrested, membranous vesicles accumulate around DNA but do not fuse to form a nuclear...
Ethidium bromide (EB), acridine orange (AO), methylene blue (MB) and other fluorescent compounds are often used to probe DNA structure in drug–DNA and protein–DNA interactions. They bind nucleic acids via intercalative mode and cause major changes to DNA and RNA structures. The aim of this study was to examine the stability and structural features of calf-thymus DNA complexes with EB, AO andMB ...
Several multi-component DNA intercalating small molecules have been designed around ruthenium-based intercalating monomers to optimize DNA binding properties for therapeutic use. Here we probe the DNA binding ligand [μ-C4(cpdppz)2(phen)4Ru2](4+), which consists of two Ru(phen)2dppz(2+) moieties joined by a flexible linker. To quantify ligand binding, double-stranded DNA is stretched with optica...
At submicromolar concentrations two novel phenanthridine biguanides exhibit distinctly different spectroscopic signals for dGdC and dAdT sequences, respectively, by opposite fluorimetric changes (quenching for dGdC and increase for dAdT) and especially the bis-biguanide derivative gives an opposite ICD response (negative ICD for dGC and strong positive for dAdT). This specific signalling was ex...
Two bisquinoline derivatives, N,N'-bis(2-quinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine (2-BQME) and N,N'-bis(8-quinolylmethyl)ethylenediamine (8-BQME) have been synthesized, and their ability to bind to duplex DNA was studied. 8-BQME bound to DNA more strongly than 2-BQME, judging from the extent of increase in the melting temperature of duplex DNA, the UV-vis spectral change, and ethidium displacement assay....
The DNA-intercalating chromophore [Ru(phen)(2)dppz](2+) has unique photophysical properties, the most striking of which is the "light-switch" characteristic when binding to DNA. As a dimer, it acts as a molecular staple for DNA, exhibiting a remarkable double-intercalating topology. Herein, we report femtosecond dynamics of the monomeric and the covalently linked dimeric chromophores, both free...
