Minor groove-binding architectural proteins: structure, function, and DNA recognition.
To date, high-resolution structures have been solved for five different architectural proteins complexed to their DNA target sites. These include TATA-box-binding protein, integration host factor (IHF), high mobility group I(Y)[HMG I(Y)], and the HMG-box-containing proteins SRY and LEF-1. Each of these proteins interacts with DNA exclusively through minor groove contacts and alters DNA conforma...
متن کاملAntineoplastic DNA-binding compounds: intercalating and minor groove binding drugs.
DNA intercalating and minor groove binding compounds are new weapons in the battle against malignant diseases. These antineoplastic agents target the DNA molecule and interfere with the cell cycle leading to rapidly proliferating cell death. They are mainly derivates of a naturally occurring organic compound derived from a microorganism or plant. Intercalators usually act as topoisomerase I and...
متن کاملHydrogen bond geometry in DNA-minor groove binding drug complexes.
The geometry of the hydrogen bonding interaction between DNA and minor-groove binding drugs has been analyzed from a sample of 22 crystal structures of DNA-drug complexes, retrieved from the Nucleic Acid Database. Seventy-seven interactions between the drugs and acceptor groups in the nucleotide bases can be classified as hydrogen bonds. Their geometry departs significantly from linearity since...
متن کاملCrystal structure of DNA-bound Co(III) bleomycin B2: Insights on intercalation and minor groove binding.
Bleomycins constitute a widely studied class of complex DNA cleaving natural products that are used to treat various cancers. Since their first isolation, the bleomycins have provided a paradigm for the development and discovery of additional DNA-cleaving chemotherapeutic agents. The bleomycins consist of a disaccharide-modified metal-binding domain connected to a bithiazole/C-terminal tail via...
متن کاملTheoretical Studies on the Binding of SN6999 to the Minor Groove of DNA
SN6999 is a drug with antitumor activity (Denny, 1979). It binds to the minor groove of B-DNA, preferentially at pure AT stretches. The binding of SN6999 to the DNA dodecamer d(GGTTAATGCGGT) d(ACCGCATTAACC) was recently studied by NMR spectroscopy (Chen, 1992). It was found that SN6999 is likely to bind in two orientations relative to the DNA, but no models at atomic resolution were derived. Sl...
