The sequence selective binding of [N-MeCys3,N-MeCys7]TANDEM to DNA has been studied by footprinting experiments on DNA fragments containing the self-complementary sequences CGCGATATCGCG, CGCGTATACGCG, CGCGTTAACGCG and CGCGAATTCGCG. DNAase I and micrococcal nuclease reveal drug-induced footprints with the central sequences ATAT, TATA and TTAA, but not AATT, suggesting that the ligand binds to the dinucleotide TpA. The ligand renders certain adenines hyper-reactive to diethyl pyrocarbonate. These are observed with ATAT, TATA and TTAA, but not AATT, and are located both within, and distal to, the TpA-binding sites.
通过对含有自我互补序列CGCGATATCGCG、CGCGTATACGCG、CGCGTTAACGCG和CGCGAATTCGCG的DNA片段进行足迹实验,研究了[N-MeCys3,N-MeCys7]TANDEM与DNA的序列选择性结合。DNA酶I和微球菌核酸酶揭示了药物诱导的足迹,其中心序列为ATAT、TATA和TTAA,但不是AATT,这表明配体与二核苷酸TpA结合。该配体使某些腺嘌呤对焦碳酸二乙酯具有高反应性。在ATAT、TATA和TTAA中观察到这种情况,但在AATT中未观察到,并且它们位于TpA结合位点内及其远端。
