短杆菌肽S与脂膜结合前后的H／D交换动力学的研究

短杆菌肽Ｓ（ＧＳ）是一个十肽分子（环－（Ｌ－Ｖａｌ－Ｌ－Ｏｒｎ－Ｌ－Ｌｅｕ－Ｄ－Ｐｈｅ－Ｌ－Ｐｒｏ）２）,是由两个β转角和两个β片层结构所构成［１］。ＧＳ的功能是通过破坏葛兰氏阴性菌的膜结构来完成其抗菌活性。迄今为止,人们对ＧＳ与膜结合特点的研究结果还不一致。Ｄａｔｅｍａｎ等人利用２Ｈ－ＮＭＲ,３１Ｐ－ＮＭＲ和ＤＳＣ等技术研究了ＧＳ与ＤＰＰＣ多层脂膜的相互作用,指出肽仅仅作用于膜表面［２］;而Ｈｉｇａｓｈｉｊｉｍａ等［３］及张凤立等用２Ｄ－ＮＭＲ的研究结果［４］表明,ＧＳ的疏水部分应插入膜内。蛋白质及多肽的Ｈ／Ｄ交换动力学受其分子内氢键,分子空间结构的致密度及其周边环境如膜环境［５］的影响。我们利用衰减全反射红外光谱（ＡＴＲ－ＦＴＩＲ）对与脂膜结合前后的短杆菌肽Ｓ的Ｈ／Ｄ交换动力学进行了研究,实验结果提示ＧＳ插入了脂膜双层。

Crystal structure of the topoisomerase II poison 9-amino-[N-(2-dimethylamino)ethyl]acridine-4-carboxamide bound to the DNA hexanucleotide d(CGTACG)2.

The structure of the complex formed between d(CGTACG)(2) and the antitumor agent 9-amino-[N-(2-dimethylamino)ethyl]acridine-4-carboxamide has been solved to a resolution of 1.6 A using X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallized in space group P6(4) with unit cell dimensions a = b = 30.2 A and c = 39.7 A, alpha = beta = 90 degrees, gamma = 120 degrees. The asymmetric unit contains a single strand of DNA, 1. 5 drug molecules, and 29 water molecules. The final structure has an overall R factor of 19.3%. A drug molecule intercalates between each of the CpG dinucleotide steps with its side chain lying in the major groove, and the protonated dimethylamino group partially occupies positions close to ( approximately 3.0 A) the N7 and O6 atoms of guanine G2. A water molecule forms bridging hydrogen bonds between the 4-carboxamide NH and the phosphate group of the same guanine. Sugar rings adopt the C2'-endo conformation except for cytosine C1 which moves to C3'-endo, thereby preventing steric collision between its C2' methylene group and the intercalated acridine ring. The intercalation cavity is opened by rotations of the main chain torsion angles alpha and gamma at guanines G2 and G6. Intercalation perturbs helix winding throughout the hexanucleotide compared to B-DNA, steps 1 and 2 being unwound by 8 degrees and 12 degrees, respectively, whereas the central TpA step is overwound by 17 degrees. An additional drug molecule, lying with the 2-fold axis in the plane of the acridine ring, is located at the end of each DNA helix, linking it to the next duplex to form a continuously stacked structure. The protonated N,N-dimethylamino group of this "end-stacked" drug hydrogen bonds to the N7 atom of guanine G6. In both drug molecules, the 4-carboxamide group is internally hydrogen bonded to the protonated N-10 atom of the acridine ring. The structure of the intercalated complex enables a rationalization of the known structure-activity relationships for inhibition of topoisomerase II activity, cytotoxicity, and DNA-binding kinetics for 9-aminoacridine-4-carboxamides.

Mechanisms of interaction of tetrahydrocortisol and its complex with apolipoprotein A-I and DNA regulatory cis-elements of CC(GCC)5/GG(CGG)5 type

An IR-spectroscopy study of the mechanism of interaction between duplex CC(GCC)5/GG (CGG)5Li2 and tetrahydrocortisol or tetrahydrocortisol-apolipoprotein A-I complex revealed the formation of hydrogen bonds between the OH group of the tetrahydrocortisol A-ring and the C=0 group of cytosine or guanine. Tetrahydrocortisol forms hydrogen bonds with the PO2-group of the duplex and with the OH-group of monosaccharide. The interaction of tetrahydrocortisol and apolipoprotein A-I with the duplex occurs at the same active site, namely, with the C=O-group of bases. The order --> order structural transition takes place in the duplex under the action of tetrahydrocortisol. The order --> disorder structural transition takes place in the duplex under the action of tetrahydrocortisol-apolipoprotein A-I complex.     

1H NMR studies of selective interactions of norfloxacin with double-stranded DNA

The interaction of the antibiotic drug norfloxacin with double-stranded DNA containing interior 5'-CpG-3', 5'-GpC-3', and 5'-GpG-3' steps was studied by 1H NMR. The drug is in fast exchange on the NMR timescale. A highly selective broadening of the imino proton resonances assigned to central CpG steps was observed after addition of drug, indicating an intercalation-like interaction. DNA sequences with central CpG steps also displayed broadening of non-hydrogen-bonded cytosine amino protons in the major groove upon addition of norfloxacin. Furthermore, a sequence-independent selective broadening of the adenine H2 resonance and an upfield shift of the guanine amino proton resonance, both protons located in the minor groove, was observed. Two-dimensional-NOESY spectra showed that no significant structural changes were induced in the DNA by the drug. The results suggest that the planar two-ring system of norfloxacin partially intercalates into CpG steps and that the drug also exhibits non-specific groove binding.     

Selective interaction of tirapazamine with DNA bases and DNA

An electrochemical model has been used to study the reductive activation of the hypoxic cell cytotoxin tirapazamine (TPZ, 3-amino-1,2,4-benzotriazine-1,4-dioxide). Cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential electrolysis have been used to generate and study the 1-electron reduction product, the assumed biologically active species. Cyclic voltammetry of tirapazamine in dimethylformamide shows a quasi-reversible 1-electron reduction with the product showing a tendency to participate in a following chemical reaction. Controlled potential electrolysis to generate the 1-electron reduction product was unsuccessful due to the formation of a new redox-active species at less negative reduction potentials. However, the cyclic voltammetry of tirapazamine in the presence of E. coli DNA shows a decrease in the lifetime of the radical anion, signifying direct interaction with the DNA. The radical lifetime also decreased in the presence of adenine, thymine and guanine, but increased upon addition of cytosine and ribose. The study shows that cyclic voltammetry is an extremely useful tool for investigating the interaction between bio-reductive drugs and biological target molecules.

Solution structure of 2-(pyrido[1,2-e]purin-4-yl)amino-ethanol intercalated in the DNA duplex d(CGATCG)2

The solution structure of the complex formed between d(CGATCG)(2) and 2-(pyrido[1,2-e]purin-4-yl)amino-ethanol, a new antitumor drug under design, has been resolved using NMR spectroscopy and restrained molecular dynamic simulations. The drug molecule intercalates between each of the CpG dinucleotide steps with its side chain lying in the minor groove. Analysis of NMR data establishes a weak stacking interaction between the intercalated ligand and the DNA bases; however, the drug/DNA affinity is enhanced by a hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group of the end of the intercalant side chain and the amide group of guanine G6. Unrestrained molecular dynamic simulations performed in a water box confirm the stability of the intercalation model. The structure of the intercalated complex enables insight into the structure-activity relationship, allowing rationalization of the design of new antineoplasic agents.     

Crystal structure of 9-amino-N-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-4-acridinecarboxamide bound to d(CGTACG)2: implications for structure–activity relationships of acridinecarboxamide topoisomerase poisons

The structure of the complex formed between d(CGTACG)₂ and 9-amino-N-[2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl]-4-acridinecarboxamide, an inactive derivative of the antitumour agents N-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]acridine-4-carboxamide (DACA) and 9-amino-DACA, has been solved to a resolution of 1.8 Å using X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallises in the space group P6₄ and the final structure has an overall R factor of 21.9%. A drug molecule intercalates between each of the CpG dinucleotide steps with its side chain lying in the major groove, and its protonated morpholino nitrogen partially occupying positions close to the N7 and O6 atoms of guanine G2. The morpholino group is disordered, the major conformer adopting a twisted boat conformation that makes van der Waals contact with the O4 oxygen of thymine T3. A water molecule forms bridging hydrogen bonds between the 4-carboxamide NH and the phosphate group of guanine G2. Sugar rings are found in alternating C3′-exo/C2′-endo conformations except for cytosine C1 which is C3′-endo. Intercalation perturbs helix winding throughout the hexanucleotide compared with B-DNA, steps 1 and 2 being unwound by 10 and 8°, respectively, while the central TpA step is overwound by 11°. An additional drug molecule lies at the end of each DNA helix linking it to the next duplex to form a continuously stacked structure. The protonated morpholino nitrogen of this ‘end-stacked’ drug hydrogen bonds to the N7 atom of guanine G6, and its conformationally disordered morpholino ring forms a C–H···O hydrogen bond with the guanine O6 oxygen. In both drug molecules the 4-carboxamide group is internally hydrogen bonded to the protonated N10 atom of the acridine ring. We discuss our findings with respect to the potential role played by the interaction of the drug side chain and the topoisomerase II protein in the poisoning of topoisomerase activity by the acridinecarboxamides.     

The effect of methylation of the 6 oxygen of guanine on the structure and stability of double helical DNA

The effect of methylation of the O-6 position of guanine in short segments of double helical DNA has been investigated by molecular mechanical simulations on the sequences d(CGCGCG)2, d(CGC[OMG]CG)2, d(CGT[OMG]CG)2, d(CGC[OMC]CG/(CGCGCG), d(CGC[OMG]CG/d(CGTGCG), d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2 and d(CGCGAATTC[OMG]CG)2. Guanines methylated at the O-6 position are found to form hydrogen bonds of roughly equal strength to cytosine and thymine. The optimum structure of these modified base pairs are not dramatically different from normal GC pairs, but both involve some bifurcation of the proton donors of cytosine (4NH2) or thymine (3NH) between the guanine N3 and O6 groups.     

Quantifying the energetic contributions of desolvation and π-electron density during translesion DNA synthesis

This report examines the molecular mechanism by which high-fidelity DNA polymerases select nucleotides during the replication of an abasic site, a non-instructional DNA lesion. This was accomplished by synthesizing several unique 5-substituted indolyl 2'-deoxyribose triphosphates and defining their kinetic parameters for incorporation opposite an abasic site to interrogate the contributions of π-electron density and solvation energies. In general, the K(d, app) values for hydrophobic non-natural nucleotides are ～10-fold lower than those measured for isosteric hydrophilic analogs. In addition, k(pol) values for nucleotides that contain less π-electron densities are slower than isosteric analogs possessing higher degrees of π-electron density. The differences in kinetic parameters were used to quantify the energetic contributions of desolvation and π-electron density on nucleotide binding and polymerization rate constant. We demonstrate that analogs lacking hydrogen-bonding capabilities act as chain terminators of translesion DNA replication while analogs with hydrogen bonding functional groups are extended when paired opposite an abasic site. Collectively, the data indicate that the efficiency of nucleotide incorporation opposite an abasic site is controlled by energies associated with nucleobase desolvation and π-electron stacking interactions whereas elongation beyond the lesion is achieved through a combination of base-stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions.
