A Short DNA Sequence Confers Strong Bleomycin Binding to Hairpin DNAs

Abstract: Bleomycins A5 and B2 were used to study the structural features in hairpin DNAs conducive to strong BLM–DNA interaction. Two members of a 10-hairpin DNA library previously found to bind most tightly to these BLMs were subsequently noted to share the sequence 5′-ACGC (complementary strand sequence 5′-GCGT). Each underwent double-strand cleavage at five sites within, or near, an eight base pair region of the DNA duplex which had been randomized to create the original library. A new hairpin DNA library was select… Show more

“…Later, Wilson et al . reported phenyl-furan-benzimidazole diamidine-based cell permeable and sequence-selective minor groove-binding molecules ( 6 , 17 21 ). One of the common structural features of all these minor groove-binding ligands is the molecular curvature to complement the DNA minor groove concavity, referred to as ‘ isohelicity ,’ which enhances the binding affinity and selectivity of interaction ( 10 , 11 , 17 20 ).…”

“…One of the most striking findings in the current study involved the metalloBLMs Cu(II)•BLM and Fe(III)•BLM, both of which have been studied extensively over a period of years. 39 , 40 As shown in Figure 4 b and c, Cu(II)•BLM-Cy5** was bound/internalized about twice as efficiently as the metal-free species (BLM–Cy5**) or the BLM disaccharide–Cy5** conjugate ( 1 ). The observed binding was clearly dependent on the BLM carbohydrate moiety, since Cu(II)•deglycoBLM–Cy5** showed minimal binding/uptake (Figure 4 b,c).…”

“…In a series of reactions, this BLM-Fe(II) complex removes a hydrogen atom from the C4′ deoxyribose sugar to produce a 4′-radical intermediate which in the presence of O 2 leads to the generation of a gapped DNA site with 5′-phosphate and 3′-phosphoglycolate ends. This gapped DNA may undergo further interaction with BLM to form a double-strand DNA break [7, 8]. Alternatively, oxidation of the 4′-radical intermediate followed by addition of H 2 O generates a 4′-oxidized abasic site [9].…”

“…BLM cleavage of hairpin DNAs has been investigated and resulted in a different spectrum of BLM binding sites [7, 8, 19, 20]. The DNA sequence specificity of BLM has been determined in human cells [21–27].…”
