Contribution of monofunctional adducts formed by furocoumarins with DNA to the inhibition of nucleic acids synthesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In addition to the bifunctional adducts (cross-linkages), that furocoumarins on radiation at 365 nm form in DNA, monofunctional adducts also proved able to inhibit the nucleic acid synthesis in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.

Monofunctional DNA-platinum(II) adducts block frequently DNA polymerases.
The question of whether monofunctional DNA platinum(II) adducts block synthesis of DNA by purified DNA polymerases of different types and origin has been investigated by comparing the time dependence of synthesis arrest and of DNA adduct formation. Activated salmon testis DNA is used as a suitable substrate for DNA synthesis allowing to probe inhibition by platinum(II) monoadducts for the varie...
متن کاملMechanism of the formation of DNA–protein cross-links by antitumor cisplatin
DNA-protein cross-links are formed by various DNA-damaging agents including antitumor platinum drugs. The natures of these ternary DNA-Pt-protein complexes (DPCLs) can be inferred, yet much remains to be learned about their structures and mechanisms of formation. We investigated the origin of these DPCLs and their cellular processing on molecular level using gel electrophoresis shift assay. We ...
متن کاملReactivity of monofunctional cis-platinum adducts as a function of DNA sequence.
The purpose of this work was to study the chemical reactivity of monofunctional cis-platinum-nucleic acid adducts as a function of nucleic acid sequence. The first part of the paper deals with the formation of these adducts. It is shown that the ternary nucleic acid-cis-platinum-ethidium bromide complexes in which ethidium bromide and nucleotide residues are cross-linked by cis-platinum, are re...

Furocoumarins (psoralens) are a well known group of substances which show interesting photo sensitizing properties on several biological sy stems 1_<; the best known of these effects in sensiti zation of human and guinea-pig skin 2; 4’ 8> 9, in the production of which the various furocoumarin deri vatives show very different activities. At present the photosensitizing effects of furo couma...
متن کاملRearrangement of interstrand cross-links into intrastrand cross-links in cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II)-modified DNA.
In the reaction of the anticancer drug cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cis-DDP) with DNA, bifunctional intrastrand and interstrand cross-links are formed. In this work, we show that at 37 degrees C interstrand cross-links (ICL) are labile and rearrange into intrastrand cross-links. The ICL instability was first studied with a 10 base pairs (bp) double-stranded oligonucleotide containing a uni...
