Minor groove to major groove, an unusual DNA sequence-dependent change in bend directionality by a distamycin dimer.
DNA sequence-dependent conformational changes induced by the minor groove binder, distamycin, have been evaluated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The distamycin binding affinity, cooperativity, and stoichiometry with three target DNA sequences that have different sizes of alternating AT sites, ATAT, ATATA, and ATATAT, have been determined by mass spectrometry and surface plasmon resonanc...
متن کاملDetermination of DNA minor groove width in distamycin-DNA complexes by solid-state NMR.
We have performed solid-state 31P-19F REDOR nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments to monitor changes in minor groove width of the oligonucleotide d(CGCAAA2'FUTGGC)*d(GCCAAT(pS)TT GCG) (A3T2) upon binding of the drug distamycin A at different stoichiometries. In the hydrated solid-state sample, the minor groove width for the unbound DNA, measured as the 2'FU7-pS19 inter-label distance, wa...
متن کاملMinor groove DNA alkylation directed by major groove triplex forming oligodeoxyribonucleotides.
We describe sequence-specific alkylation in the minor groove of double-stranded DNA by a hybridization-triggered reactive group conjugated to a triplex forming oligodeoxyribonucleotide (TFO) that binds in the major groove. The 24 nt TFOs (G/A motif) were designed to form triplexes with a homopurine tract within a 65 bp target duplex. They were conjugated to an N 5-methyl-cyclopropapyrroloindole...
متن کاملMinor Groove Binder Distamycin Remodels Chromatin but Inhibits Transcription
The condensed structure of chromatin limits access of cellular machinery towards template DNA. This in turn represses essential processes like transcription, replication, repair and recombination. The repression is alleviated by a variety of energy dependent processes, collectively known as "chromatin remodeling". In a eukaryotic cell, a fine balance between condensed and de-condensed states of...
متن کاملFluorescent d(CGCGAATTCGCG): characterization of major groove polarity and study of minor groove interactions through a major groove semantophore conjugate
The major and minor groove in duplex DNA are sites of specific molecular recognition by DNA-binding agents such as proteins, drugs and metal complexes and have functional significance. In view of this, understanding of the inherent differences in their environment and the allosteric information transfer between them induced by DNA-binding agents assumes importance. Site-specific incorporation o...
