Ethidium bromide-dinucleotide complexes. Evidence for intercalation and sequence preferences in binding to double-stranded nucleic acids.
The solution complexes of ethidium bromide with nine different deoxydinucleotides and the four self-complementary ribodinucleoside monophosphates as well as mixtures of complementary and noncomplementary deoxydinucleotides were studied as models for the binding of the drug to DNA and RNA. Ethidium bromide forms the strongest complexes with pdCdG and CpG and shows a definite preference for inter...
متن کاملLocalization of the major ethidium bromide binding site on tRNA.
Binding of ethidium bromide to Escherichia coli tRNAVal and an RNA minihelix based on the acceptor stem and T-arm of tRNAVal was investigated by 19F and 1H NMR spectroscopy of RNAs labeled with fluorine by incorporation of 5-fluorouracil. Ethidium bromide selectively intercalates into the acceptor stem of the tRNAVal. More than one ethidium bromide binding site is found in the acceptor stem, th...
متن کاملBinding of ethidium bromide to a DNA triple helix. Evidence for intercalation.
The interaction of ethidium, a DNA intercalator, with the poly(dA).poly(dT) duplex and the poly (dA).2poly(dT) triplex has been investigated by a variety of spectrophotometric and hydrodynamic techniques. The fluorescence of ethidium is increased when either the duplex or triplex form is present. Binding constants, determined from absorbance measurements, indicate that binding to the triple hel...
متن کاملBinding of polylysine and ethidium bromide to nucleosomal DNA: comparison of biochemical and electron microscopical results.
Ethidium bromide and polylysine interact with nucleosomal DNA and lead to change of biochemical properties and to morphological changes as to the distance between the two core particles of a nucleosome dimer. With increasing polylysine concentration, the buoyant density of nucleosomes decrease and the accessibility of the nucleosomal DNA to micrococcal nuclease is lowered. Electron microscopy o...
متن کاملCircular dichroism studies of ethidium bromide binding to the isolated nucleolus.
Circular dichroism in the 300-360 nm region and fluorescence induced by intercaltating binding of ethidum bromide to both DNA and RNA components were studied in isolated HeLa nucleoli. Both DNA and RNA compoents contribute to the induced dichroic elliticity. Digestion of nucleoli by RNase or DNase shows that most of the induced ellipticity comes from the DNA component. In nucleoli with an RNA/D...
