Ethidium forms a crystalline complex with the dinucleoside monophosphate, uridylyl (3'-5') adenosine (UpA). The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2l with unit cell dimensions, a = 13.704 A, b = 31.674 A, c = 15.131 A, beta = 113.9 degrees. This light atom structure has been solved to atomic resolution and refined by full matrix least squares to a residual of 0.12, using 3,034 observed reflections. The asymmetric unit consists of two ethidium molecules, two UpA molecules and 19 solvent molecules, a total of 145 non-hydrogen atoms. The two UpA molecules are hydrogen-bonded together by Watson-Crick type base pairing. Base-pairs in this duplex are separated by 6.7 A; this reflects intercalative binding by one of the ethidium molecules. The other ethidium molecule stacks on either side of the intercalated base-paired dinucleoside monophosphate, being related by a unit cell translation along the a axis. The conformation of the sugar-phosphate backbone accompanying intercalation has been accurately determined in this analysis, and contains the mixed sugar-puckering pattern: C3' endo (3'-5') C2' endo. This same structural feature has been observed in the ethidium-iodoUpA and ethidium-iodoCpG complexes, and exists in two additional structures containing ethidium-CpG. Taken together, these studies confirm our earlier sugar-puckering assignments and demonstrate that iodine covalently bound to the C5 position on uridine or cytosine does not alter the basic sugar-phosphate geometry or the mode of ethidium intercalation in these model studies. We have proposed this stereochemistry to explain the intercalation of ethidium (as well as other simple intercalators) into both DNA and into double-helical RNA, and discuss this aspect of our work further in this paper and in the accompanying papers. 相似文献

Abstract This paper describes two complexes containing ethidium and the dinucleoside monophosphate, cytidylyl(3′-5′)guanosine (CpG). Both crystals are monoclinic, space group P21, with unit cell dimensions as follows: modification 1: a = 13.64 Å, b = 32.16 Å, c - 14.93 Å, β = 114.8° and modification 2: a = 13.79 Å, b = 31.94 Å, c = 15.66 Å, β = 117.5°. Each structure has been solved to atomic resolution and refined by Fourier and least squares methods; the first has been refined to a residual of 0.187 on 1,903 reflections, while the second has been refined to a residual of 0.187 on 1,001 reflections. The asymmetric unit in both structures contains two ethidium molecules and two CpG molecules; the first structure has 30 water molecules (a total of 158 non-hydrogen atoms), while the second structure has 19 water molecules (a total of 147 non-hydrogen atoms). Both structures demonstrate intercalation of ethidium between base-paired CpG dimers. In addition, ethidium molecules stack on either side of the intercalated duplex, being related by a unit cell translation along the a axis. The basic feature of the sugar-phosphate chains accompanying ethidium intercalation in both structures is: C3′ endo (3′-5′) C2′ endo. This mixed sugar-puckering pattern has been observed in all previous studies of ethidium intercalation and is a feature common to other drug-nucleic acid structural studies carried out in our laboratory. We discuss this further in this paper and in the accompanying papers. 相似文献

This paper describes two complexes containing N,N-dimethylproflavine and the dinucleoside monophosphate, 5-iodocytidylyl (3'-5') guanosine (iodoCpG). The first complex is triclinic, space group P1, with unit cell dimensions a = 11.78 A, b = 14.55 A, c = 15.50 A, alpha = 89.2 degrees, beta = 86.2 degrees, gamma = 96.4 degrees. The second complex is monoclinic, space group P21, with a = 14.20 A. b = 19.00 A, c = 20.73 A, beta = 103.6 degrees. Both structures have been solved to atomic resolution and refined by Fourier and least squares methods. The first structure has been refined anisotropically to a residual of 0.09 on 5,025 observed reflections using block diagonal least squares, while the second structure has been refined anisotropically to a residual of 0.13 on 2,888 reflections with full matrix least squares. The asymmetric unit in both structures contains two dimethylproflavine molecules and two iodoCpG molecules; the first structure has 16 water molecules (a total of 134 non-hydrogen atoms), while the second structure has 18 water molecules (a total of 136 non-hydrogen atoms). Both structures demonstrate intercalation of dimethylproflavine between base-paired iodoCpG dimers. In addition, dimethylproflavine molecules stack on either side of the intercalated duplex, being related by a unit cell translation along b and a axes, respectively. The basic structural feature of the sugar-phosphate chains accompanying dimethylproflavine intercalation in both structures is the mixed sugar puckering pattern: C3' endo (3'-5') C2' endo. This same structural information is again demonstrated in the accompanying paper, which describes a complex containing dimethylproflavine with deoxyribo-CpG. Similar information has already appeared for other "simple" intercalators such as ethidium, acridine orange, ellipticine, 9-aminoacridine, N-methyl-tetramethylphenanthrolinium and terpyridine platinum. "Complex" intercalators, however, such as proflavine and daunomycin, have given different structural information in model studies. We discuss the possible reasons for these differences in this paper and in the accompanying paper. 相似文献

Abstract This paper describes two complexes containing N,N-dimethylproflavine and the dinucleoside monophosphate, 5-iodocytidylyl(3′-5′)guanosine (iodoCpG). The first complex is triclinic, space group PI, with unit cell dimensions a = 11.78 Å, b = 14.55 Å, c = 15.50 Å, a = 89.2°, β = 86.2°, γ = 96.4°. The second complex is monoclinic, space group P21, with a = 14.20 Å, b = 19.00 Å, c = 20.73 Å, β = 103.6°. Both structures have been solved to atomic resolution and refined by Fourier and least squares methods. The first structure has been refined anisotropically to a residual of 0.09 on 5,025 observed reflections using block diagonal least squares, while the second structure has been refined isotropically to a residual of 0.13 on 2,888 reflections with full matrix least squares. The asymmetric unit in both structures contains two dimethylproflavine molecules and two iodoCpG molecules; the first structure has 16 water molecules (a total of 134 non-hydrogen atoms), while the second structure has 18 water molecules (a total of 136 non-hydrogen atoms). Both structures demonstrate intercalation of dimethylproflavine between base-paired iodoCpG dimers.

N,N-dimethylproflavine forms a crystalline complex with deoxycytidylyl(3'-5')deoxyguanosine (d-CpG), space group P2(1)2(1)2, with a = 21.37 A, b = 34.05 A, c = 13.63 A. The structure has been solved to atomic resolution and refined by Fourier and least squares methods to a residual of 0.18 on 2,032 observed reflections. The structure consists of two N,N-dimethylproflavine molecules, two deoxycytidylyl (3'-5')deoxyguanosine molecules and 16 water molecules, a total of 128 nonhydrogen atoms. As with other structures of this type, N,N-dimethylproflavine molecules intercalate between base-paired d-CpG dimers. In addition, dimethylproflavine molecules stack on either side of the intercalated duplex, being related by a unit cell translation along the c axis. Both sugar-phosphate chains demonstrate the mixed sugar puckering geometry: C3' endo (3'-5') C2' endo. This same intercalative geometry has been seen in two other complexes containing N,N-dimethylproflavine and iodoCpG, described in the accompanying paper. Taken together, these studies indicate a common intercalative geometry present in both RNA- and DNA- model systems. Again, N,N-dimethylproflavine behaves as a simple intercalator, intercalating asymmetrically between guanine-cytosine base-pairs. The free amino- group on the intercalated dimethylproflavine molecule does not hydrogen bond directly to the phosphate oxygen. Other aspects of the structure will be presented. 相似文献

Molecular mechanical calculations were done on complexes of 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (NQO) with various dinucleoside phosphates [(ApT)2, (CpG)2, (GpC)2, and (TpA)2]. Models built using proflavine (uniform C3' endo sugar puckers) and acridine orange (mixed C3' endo (3'-5') C2' endo sugar puckers) dinucleoside phosphate X-ray structures were used in the calculations. Relative binding energies, complex geometries, and various intercalator orientations in the complexes were studied. The results suggest qualitatively different geometries for pyr-(3'-5')-pur and pur-(3'-5')-pyr sequences. Specifically, we find marked distortion in some of the complexes (i.e. there is not a parallel coplanar relationship between the base pairs and intercalator), distortion of the NQO nitro group from planarity in the complexes and mobility of NQO in the intercalation site. We suggest that experimental studies of NQO-dinucleoside phosphate complexes may reveal intercalation complexes which deviate substantially more from a nearly parallel coplanar arrangement of bases and intercalator than has been previously observed. 相似文献

The intercalative trypanosomal drug, ethidium bromide, forms a crystalline complex with the dinucleoside monophosphate, 5-iodiuridylyl(3'-5')adenosine (iodoUpA). These crystals are monoclinic, space group C2, with unit cell dimensions, a = 2.845 nm, b = 1.354 nm, c = 3.413 nm, beta = 98.6 degrees. The structure has been solved to atomic resolution by Patterson and Fourier methods, and refined by full matrix least squares to a residual of 0.29 on 2017 observed reflexions. The asymmetric unit contains two ethidium molecules, two iodoUpA molecules, twenty water molecules and four methanol molecules, a total of 156 atims excluding hydrogens. The two iodoUpA molecules are held together by adenine-uracil Watson-Crick base-pairing. Adjacent base-pairs within this paired iodoUpA structure and between neighbouring iodoUpA molecules in adjoining unit cells are separated by 0.68 nm. This separation results from intercalative binding by one ethidium molecule and stacking by the other symmetry is utilized in this model drub-nucleic acid interaction, the intercalative ethidium molecule being oriented such that its phenyl and ethyl groups lie in the narrow groove of the miniature nucleic acid double helix. Solution studies have indicated a marked sequence specificity for ethidium-dinucleotide interactions and a probable structural explanation for this has been provided by this study. 相似文献

The three-dimensional crystal structure of catalase from Micrococcus lysodeikticus has been solved by multiple isomorphous replacement and refined at 1.5 A resolution. The subunit of the tetrameric molecule of 222 symmetry consists of a single polypeptide chain of about 500 amino acid residues and one haem group. The crystals belong to space group P4(2)2(1)2 with unit cell parameters a = b = 106.7 A, c = 106.3 A, and there is one subunit of the tetramer per asymmetric unit. The amino acid sequence has been tentatively determined by computer graphics model building and comparison with the known three-dimensional structure of beef liver catalase and sequences of several other catalases. The atomic model has been refined by Hendrickson and Konnert's least-squares minimisation against 94,315 reflections between 8 A and 1.5 A. The final model consists of 3,977 non-hydrogen atoms of the protein and haem group, 426 water molecules and one sulphate ion. The secondary and tertiary structures of the bacterial catalase have been analyzed and a comparison with the structure of beef liver catalase has been made. 相似文献

1,10-Phenanthroline-platinum (II) ethylenediamine (PEPt) forms a 1:2 crystalline complex with 5'-phosphorylthymidylyl (3'-5') deoxyadeno sine (d-pTpA). Crystals are monoclinic, P2, with a = 10.204 A, b = 24.743 A, c = 21.064 A, Beta = 94.6 degrees. The structure has been determined by Patterson and Fourier methods, and refined by least squares to a residual of 0.128 on 2,367 observed reflections. PEPt molecules form sandwich-like stacks with adenine-thymine hydrogen-bonded pairs along the alpha axis. Intercalation in the classic sense is not observed in this structure. Instead, d-pTpA molecules form an open chain structure in which adenine-thymine residues hydrogenbond together with the reversed Hoogsteen type base-pairing configuration. Deoxyadenosine residues exist in the syn conformation and are C3' endo and C1' exo. Thymidine residues are in the high anti conformation with C2' endo puckers. The structure is heavily hydrated, forming a channel-like water network along the alpha axis. Other features of the structure are described. 相似文献

Crystal and molecular structure of the ammonium salt of the dinucleoside monophosphate d(CpG) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The crystal and molecular structure of the ammonium salt of deoxycytidylyl-(3'-5')-deoxyguanosine has been determined from 0.85 A resolution single crystal X-ray diffraction data. The crystals obtained by acetone diffusion technique at -20 degrees C, are orthorhombic, P212121, a = 12.880(2), b = 17444(2) and c = 27.642(2) A. The structure was solved by high resolution Patterson and Fourier methods and refined to R = 0.136. There are two d(CpG) molecules in the asymmetric unit forming a mini left handed Z-DNA helix. This is in contrast to the earlier reported forms of d(CpG) where the molecules form self base paired duplexes. There are two ammonium ions in the asymmetric unit. The major groove NH+4 ion interacts with N7 of guanines through water bridges besides making H-bonded interactions directly with the phosphate oxygen atoms. A second NH+4 ion is found in the minor groove interacting directly with the phosphate oxygen atoms. Symmetry related molecules pack in such a way that the cytosine base stacks on cytosine and guanine base on guanine. Our structure demonstrates that alternating d(CpG) sequences have the ability to adopt the left handed Z-DNA structure even at the dimer level i.e., in a sequence which is only two base pairs long. 相似文献

2-Methyl-4-nitroaniline ethylene dimethylammonium hydrobromide forms a crystalline complex with the self-complementary dinucleoside monophosphate, 5- iodocytidylyl (3'-5')guanosine. The crystals are tetragonal, with a = b = 32.192 A and c = 23.964 A, space group P4(3)2(1)2. The structure has been solved to atomic resolution by Patterson and Fourier methods, and refined by full matrix least squares. 5- Iodocytidylyl (3'-5')guanosine molecules are held together in pairs through Watson-Crick base-pairing, forming an antiparallel duplex structure. Nitroaniline molecules stack above and below guanine-cytosine pairs in this duplex structure. In addition, a third nitroaniline molecule stacks on one of the other two nitroaniline molecules. The asymmetric unit contains two 5- iodocytidylyl (3'-5')guanosine molecules, three nitroaniline molecules, one bromide ion and thirty-one water molecules, a total of 160 atoms.

X-ray crystallographic studies on 3'-5' oligomers have provided a great deal of information on the stereochemistry and conformational flexibility of nucleic acids and polynucleotides. In contrast, there is very little information available on 2'-5' polynucleotides. We have now obtained the crystal structure of Cytidylyl-2',5'-Adenosine (C2'p5'A) at atomic resolution to establish the conformational differences between these two classes of polymers. The dinucleoside phosphate crystallises in the monoclinic space group C2, with a = 33.912(4)A, b = 16.824(4)A, c = 12.898(2)A and beta = 112.35(1) with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Spectacularly, the two independent C2'p5'A molecules in the asymmetric unit form right handed miniature parallel stranded double helices with their respective crystallographic two fold (b axis) symmetry mates. Remarkably, the two mini duplexes are almost indistinguishable. The cytosines and adenines form self-pairs with three and two hydrogen bonds respectively. The conformation of the C and A residues about the glycosyl bond is anti same as in the 3'-5' analog but contrasts the anti and syn geometry of C and A residues in A2'p5'C. The furanose ring conformation is C3' endo, C2' endo mixed puckering as in the C3'p5'A-proflavine complex. A comparison of the backbone torsion angles with other 2'-5' dinucleoside structures reveals that the major deviations occur in the torsion angles about the C3'-C2' and C4'-C3' bonds. A right-handed 2'-5' parallel stranded double helix having eight base pairs per turn and 45 degrees turn angle between them has been constructed using this dinucleoside phosphate as repeat unit. A discussion on 2'-5' parallel stranded double helix and its relevance to biological systems is presented. 相似文献

Ethidium forms a second crystalline complex with the dinucleoside monophosphate 5-iodocytidylyl(3′–5′)guanosine (iodoCpG). These crystals are monoclinic, P21, with . The structure has been solved to atomic resolution using rigid-body Patterson vector search and Fourier methods, and refined by full matrix least-squares to a residual of 0.16 on 3180 observed reflections. The structure consists of two ethidium molecules, two iodoCpG molecules, 27 water molecules and four methanol molecules, a total of 165 atoms (excluding hydrogens) in the asymmetric unit. Both iodoCpG molecules are hydrogen-bonded together by guanine · cytosine Watson-Crick base-pairing. Adjacent base-pairs within this paired iodoCpG structure and between neighboring iodoCpG molecules in adjoining unit cells are separated by 6.7 Å. This distance reflects the presence of an ethidium molecule intercalated between base-paired iodoCpG molecules and another ethidium molecule stacked above (and below) the dinucleotide. Approximate 2-fold symmetry is used in the interaction; this reflects the pseudo-2-fold symmetry axis of the phenanthridinium ring system in ethidium coinciding with the approximate 2-fold axis relating base-paired iodoCpG molecules. The phenyl and ethyl groups of the intercalated ethidium molecule lie in the narrow groove of the miniature iodoCpG double-helix. The stacked ethidium, however, lies in the opposite direction, its phenyl and ethyl groups neighboring iodine atoms on cytosine residues. Base-pairs within the paired nucleotide units are related by a twist of about 8 °. The magnitude of this angular twist reflects conformational changes in the sugar-phosphate chains accompanying intercalation. These primarily reflect the differences in ribose sugar ring puckering that are observed (i.e. both iodocytidine residues have C3′ endo sugar conformations, while both guanosine residues have C2′ endo sugar conformations), and alterations in the glycosidic torsional angles that describe the base-sugar orientation.The information provided by this structure analysis (along with the accompanying one (ethidium:iodoUpA), described in the previous paper) has led to an understanding of the general nature of intercalative drug binding to DNA. This is described in the third paper of this series. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli, flavodoxin is the physiological electron donor for the reductive activation of the enzymes pyruvate formate-lyase, anaerobic ribonucleotide reductase, and B12-dependent methionine synthase. As a basis for studies of the interactions of flavodoxin with methionine synthase, crystal structures of orthorhombic and trigonal forms of oxidized recombinant flavodoxin from E. coli have been determined. The orthorhombic form (space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 126.4, b = 41.10, c = 69.15 A, with two molecules per asymmetric unit) was solved initially by molecular replacement at a resolution of 3.0 A, using coordinates from the structure of the flavodoxin from Synechococcus PCC 7942 (Anacystis nidulans). Data extending to 1.8-A resolution were collected at 140 K and the structure was refined to an Rwork of 0.196 and an Rfree of 0.250 for reflections with I > 0. The final model contains 3,224 non-hydrogen atoms per asymmetric unit, including 62 flavin mononucleotide (FMN) atoms, 354 water molecules, four calcium ions, four sodium ions, two chloride ions, and two Bis-Tris buffer molecules. The structure of the protein in the trigonal form (space group P312, a = 78.83, c = 52.07 A) was solved by molecular replacement using the coordinates from the orthorhombic structure, and was refined with all data from 10.0 to 2.6 A (R = 0.191; Rfree = 0.249). The sequence Tyr 58-Tyr 59, in a bend near the FMN, has so far been found only in the flavodoxins from E. coli and Haemophilus influenzae, and may be important in interactions of flavodoxin with its partners in activation reactions. The tyrosine residues in this bend are influenced by intermolecular contacts and adopt different orientations in the two crystal forms. Structural comparisons with flavodoxins from Synechococcus PCC 7942 and Anaebaena PCC 7120 suggest other residues that may also be critical for recognition by methionine synthase. 相似文献

dApT, a modified deoxyribose dinucleoside phosphate with an uncharged methylphosphonate group, crystallizes as dihydrate in space group P2(1)2(1)2, a = 9.629(3), b = 20.884(6) and c = 14.173(4)A, Z = 4. The structure has been determined using 2176 X-ray diffractometer reflections and refined to a final R of 0.105. Torsion angles about P-O(5') and P-O(3') bonds are -91.8 degrees and 117.8 degrees. The former is in the normal (-)gauche range while the latter is eclipsed. Bases are oriented anti, the sugar of adenosine is puckered 2T3 (C(2')endo) whereas that of thymidine displays puckering disorder with major and minor occupancy sites. Major site is a half-chair 2T (C(2')endo-C(1')exo) and minor site an envelope 3T2 (C(3(1)endo). Adenine and thymine bases of symmetry related molecules form reversed Hoogsteen type base pairs, water molecules are disordered in the crystal lattice. 相似文献

The X-ray crystal structure of the complex between the anthracycline idarubicin and d(CGATCG) has been solved by molecular replacement and refined to a resolution of 2.0 A. The final R-factor is 0.19 for 3768 reflections with Fo > or = 2 sigma (Fo). The complex crystallizes in the trigonal space group P31 with unit cell parameters a = b = 52.996(4), c = 33.065(2) A, alpha = beta = 90 degree, gamma = 120 degree. The asymmetric unit consists of two duplexes, each one being complexed with two idarubicin drugs intercalated at the CpG steps, one spermine and 160 water molecules. The molecular packing underlines major groove-major groove interactions between neighbouring helices, and an unusually low value of the occupied fraction of the unit cell due to a large solvent channel of approximately 30 A diameter. This is the first trigonal crystal form of a DNA-anthracycline complex. The structure is compared with the previously reported structure of the same complex crystallizing in a tetragonal form. The geometry of both the double helices and the intercalation site are conserved as are the intramolecular interactions despite the different crystal forms. 相似文献

Ethidium forms a crystalline complex with the dinucleoside monophosphate 5-iodouridylyl(3′–5′)adenosine (iodoUpA). These crystals are monoclinic, space group C2, with unit cell dimensions, . The structure has been solved to atomic resolution by Patterson and Fourier methods, and refined by full matrix least-squares to a residual of 0.20 on 2017 observed reflections. The asymmetric unit contains two ethidium molecules, two iodoUpA molecules and 27 water molecules, a total of 155 atoms excluding hydrogens. The two iodoUpA molecules are held together by adenine · uracil Watson-Crick-type base-pairing. Adjacent base-pairs within this paired iodoUpA structure and between neighboring iodoUpA molecules in adjoining unit cells are separated by about 6.7 Å; this separation results from intercalative binding by one ethidium molecule and stacking by the other ethidium molecule above and below the base-pairs. Non-crystallographic 2-fold symmetry is utilized in this model drug-nucleic acid interaction, the intercalated ethidium molecule being oriented such that its phenyl and ethyl groups lie in the narrow groove of the miniature nucleic acid double-helix. Base-pairs within the paired nucleotide units are related by a twist of 8 °. The magnitude of this angular twist is related to conformational changes in the sugar-phosphate chains that accompany drug intercalation. These changes partly reflect the differences in ribose sugar ring puckering that are observed (both iodouridine residues have C3′ endo sugar conformations, whereas both adenosine residues have C2′ endo sugar conformations), and alterations in the glycosidic torsional angles describing the base-sugar orientations. Additional small but systematic changes occur in torsional angles that involve the phosphodiester linkages and the C4′C5′ bond. Solution studies have indicated a marked sequence-specific binding preference in ethidium-dinucleotide interactions, and a probable structural explanation for this is provided by this study.This structure and the accompanying one described in the second paper [ethidium:5-idocytidylyl(3′–5′)guanosine] are examples of model drug-nucleic acid intercalative complexes, and the information provided by their structure analyses has led to a general understanding of intercalative drug binding to DNA. This is described in the third paper of this series. 相似文献

Abstract N,N-dimethylproflavine forms a crystalline complex with deoxycytidylyl(3′-5′)deoxyguanosine (d-CpG), space group P21,212, with a = 21.37 Å, b = 34.05 Å, c = 13.63 Å. The structure has been solved to atomic resolution and refined by Fourier and least squares methods to a residual of 0.18 on 2,032 observed reflections. The structure consists of two N,N- dimethylproflavine molecules, two deoxycytidylyl (3′-5′)deoxyguanosine molecules and 16 water molecules, a total of 128 nonhydrogen atoms. As with other structures of this type, N,N-dimethylproflavine molecules intercalate between base-paired d-CpG dimers. In addition, dimethylproflavine molecules stack on either side of the intercalated duplex, being related by a unit cell translation along the c axis. Both sugar-phosphate chains demonstrate the mixed sugar puckering geometry: C3′ endo (3′-5′) C2′ endo. This same intercalative geometry has been seen in two other complexes containing N,N-dimethylproflavine and iodoCpG, described in the accompanying paper. Taken together, these studies indicate a common intercalative geometry present in both RNA- and DNA- model systems. Again, N,N-dimethylproflavine behaves as a simple intercalator, intercalating asymmetrically between guanine-cytosine base-pairs. The free amino- group on the intercalated dimethylproflavine molecule does not hydrogen bond directly to the phosphate oxygen. Other aspects of the structure will be presented. 相似文献
