Mode of reversible binding of neocarzinostatin chromophore to DNA: base sequence dependency of binding.
The reversible binding of neocarzinostatin chromophore to polynucleotides was studied in order to understand the molecular basis of its base sequence-specificity in DNA damage production. Studies of the spectroscopic and thermodynamic properties of chromophore-polynucleotide interactions reveal that the binding of the chromophore to poly(dA-dT) is qualitatively and quantitatively different from...
متن کاملBINDING OF THE ANTITUMOR DRUG ADRIAMYCIN TO DNA-HISTONE COMPLEXES
Isotherms of the binding of the anthracycIine antibiotic, adriamycin (adriblastin), to DNA histone complexes was studied by means of spectroscopic analysis. The results indicated that: (a) binding of adriamycin to histones reduced the interaction of histones with DNA, (b) binding of the drug to DNA did not change the binding affinity of histone to DNA and, (c) in the explored binding range...
متن کاملInvestigation and Determination the Binding Site of Glycyrrhizin of Liquorice to DNA
Glycyrrhizin(GL), is a triterpenoid saponin found in glychyrrhiza glabra (liquorice). This compound is a frequently used and very effective drug for the treatment of various malignancies. This study was designed to examine the interactions of glycyrrhizin with calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution at physiological conditions. FTIR spectroscopic method was used to determine the ligand binding mode...
متن کاملSequence-specific binding of luzopeptin to DNA.
We have examined the binding of luzopeptin, an antitumor antibiotic, to five DNA fragments of varying base composition. The drug forms a tight, possibly covalent, complex with the DNA causing a reduction in mobility on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels and some smearing of the bands consistent with intramolecular cross-linking of DNA duplexes. DNAase I and micrococcal nuclease footprinting expe...
متن کاملDistribution of Chromophore-Binding GAF Domains in Genome Sequence
GAF domains were first described for vertebrate cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases, a cyanobacterial adenylate cyclase and the bacterial formate hydrogen lyase transcription activator FhlA [1]. GAF domains consist of about 150 amino acids conserved in many signaling molecules. GAF domains (PF01590) can be identified in the Pfam database by their characteristic protein sequence signature. GAF doma...
