Adriamycin Interactions with T4 DNA Polymerase
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined the effect of adriamycin on kinetics of DNA synthesis catalyzed by DNA polymerase purified from bacteriophage T4-infected Escherichia coli. Two distinct modes of enzyme inhibition occur: uncompetitive and competitive at “low” and “high” drug:DNA nucleotide molar ratios, respectively. Competitive inhibition is not observed unless an unblocked amino group is present on the sugar (daunosamine) moiety. A model is proposed to relate the enzyme inhibition kinetics to intercalative and ionic binding of adriamycin to DNA.

FT- SERS Study of Adriamycin - DNA Intraction
FT-SERS (Fourier Transform Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering) of adriamycin and its complex with DNA is reported. It is shown that in agreement with previous Raman studies the interaction of adriamycin with DNA takes place through an intercalation mechanism. The presence of a new band at 731 cm-1 suggests that ring D of adriamycin is not involved in the intercalation process.
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of the functional coupling of the helicase (gp41) and polymerase (gp43) of bacteriophage T4 within the DNA replication fork.
Processive strand-displacement DNA synthesis with the T4 replication system requires functional "coupling" between the DNA polymerase (gp43) and the helicase (gp41). To define the physical basis of this functional coupling, we have used analytical ultracentrifugation to show that gp43 is a monomeric species at physiological protein concentrations and that gp41 and gp43 do not physically interac...

Assembly of DNA replication systems requires the coordinated actions of many proteins. The multiprotein complexes formed as intermediates on the pathway to the final DNA polymerase holoenzyme have been shown to have distinct structures relative to the ground-state structures of the individual proteins. By using a variety of solution-phase techniques, we have elucidated additional information ab...

Bacteriophage T4 gene 43 codes for the viral DNA polymerase. We report here the sequence of gene 43 and about 70 nucleotides of 5'- and 3'-flanking sequences, determined by both DNA and RNA sequencing. We have also purified T4 DNA polymerase from T4 infected Escherichia coli and from E. coli containing a gene 43 overexpression vector. A major portion of the deduced amino acid sequence has been ...
