Crystal structure of trioxacarcin A covalently bound to DNA
We report a crystal structure that shows an antibiotic that extracts a nucleobase from a DNA molecule 'caught in the act' after forming a covalent bond but before departing with the base. The structure of trioxacarcin A covalently bound to double-stranded d(AACCGGTT) was determined to 1.78 A resolution by MAD phasing employing brominated oligonucleotides. The DNA-drug complex has a unique struc...
متن کاملStructure of 11-deoxydaunomycin bound to DNA containing a phosphorothioate.
The anthracyclines form an important family of cancer chemotherapeutic agents with a strong dependence of clinical properties on minor differences in chemical structure. We describe the X-ray crystallographic solution of the three-dimensional structure of the anthracycline 11-deoxydaunomycin plus d(CGTsACG). In this complex, two drug molecules bind to each hexamer duplex. Both the drug and the ...
متن کاملStructure of nogalamycin bound to a DNA hexamer.
The anthracycline antibiotic nogalamycin, which binds to DNA, is composed of a planar aglycone substituted on each end to form an unusual dumbbell-shaped molecule. At one end nogalamycin contains an uncharged nogalose sugar and a methyl ester. At the other end nogalamycin contains a positively charged bicyclo amino sugar. We report the crystal structure of nogalamycin bound to the self-compleme...
متن کاملStructure of the forkhead domain of FOXP2 bound to DNA.
FOXP (FOXP1-4) is a newly defined subfamily of the forkhead box (FOX) transcription factors. A mutation in the FOXP2 forkhead domain cosegregates with a severe speech disorder, whereas several mutations in the FOXP3 forkhead domain are linked to the IPEX syndrome in human and a similar autoimmune phenotype in mice. Here we report a 1.9 A crystal structure of the forkhead domain of human FOXP2 b...
متن کاملStructure of a HoxB1–Pbx1 Heterodimer Bound to DNA Role of the Hexapeptide and a Fourth Homeodomain Helix in Complex Formation
Hox homeodomain proteins are developmental regulators that determine body plan in a variety of organisms. A majority of the vertebrate Hox proteins bind DNA as heterodimers with the Pbx1 homeodomain protein. We report here the 2.35 A structure of a ternary complex containing a human HoxB1-Pbx1 heterodimer bound to DNA. Heterodimer contacts are mediated by the hexapeptide of HoxB1, which binds i...
