The Journal of Antibiotics a Possible Role by of Bleomycin in Double-strand of Dna Bithiazoles Causing Scission
There are several lines of evidence indicating that the DNA-cleaving activity of bleomycin determines its cytotoxicity. (1) Most bleomycin analogs and derivatives which degrade isolated DNA are also active against living cells and vice versal) ; (2) some bacterial mutants selected for sensitivity to bleomycin lacked DNA-repair systems',') ; and (3) more degradation of DNA was observed in cells ...
متن کاملBleomycin and talisomycin sequence-specific strand scission of DNA: a mechanism of double-strand cleavage.
Computer analyses of DNA sequencing data obtained using various restriction fragments of pBR 322 DNA indicate that a trinucleotide sequence (-Pyr-G-C-) is the most preferred site for cleavage by the antitumor antibiotic bleomycin A2. Talisomycin A, a structurally related bleomycin analog, cleaved at the sequences -G-T/A- most preferentially. However, the presence of a pyrimidine at the 5' side ...

متن کاملMechanism of double-strand DNA cleavage effected by iron-bleomycin.
We have observed that in the absence of hydrogen peroxide the Fe(III)-bleomycin (BLM) complex exhibits high DNA cleavage efficiency, converting supercoiled Form I DNA (pBR322 or phix174) to Form II (nicked, relaxed circular); the present study may give an important clue to elucidate the fact that iron-bleomycin mediated double-strand DNA cleavage requires at least one molecule of oxygen (O2) ov...
متن کاملSingle-strand scission and repair of DNA in mammalian cells by bleomycin.
DNA single-strand breakage by bleomycin treatment of cultured mammalian cells was demonstrated by the method of alkaline elution. Elution patterns from treated L1210 cells indicated that part of the DNA was extensively broken while the remainder was affected to a lesser degree. This biphasic effect, which was less prominent in human fibroblasts, may reflect a selective sensitivity either of par...
