Abstract: | The effect of two different DNA minor groove binding molecules, Hoechst 33258 and distamycin A, on the binding kinetics of NF-kappaB p50 to three different specific DNA sequences was studied at various salt concentrations. Distamycin A was shown to significantly increase the dissociation rate constant of p50 from the sequences PRDII (5'-GGGAAATTCC-3') and Ig-kappa B (5'-GGGACTTTCC-3') but had a negligible effect on the dissociation from the palindromic target-kappaB binding site (5'-GGGAATTCCC-3'). By comparison, the effect of Hoechst 33258 on binding of p50 to each sequence was found to be minimal. The dissociation rates for the protein--DNA complexes increased at higher potassium chloride concentrations for the PRDII and Ig-kappaB binding motifs and this effect was magnified by distamycin A. In contrast, p50 bound to the palindromic target-kappaB site with a much higher intrinsic affinity and exhibited a significantly reduced salt dependence of binding over the ionic strength range studied, retaining a K(D) of less than 10 pM at 150 mM KCl. Our results demonstrate that the DNA binding kinetics of p50 and their salt dependence is strongly sequence-dependent and, in addition, that the binding of p50 to DNA can be influenced by the addition of minor groove-binding drugs in a sequence-dependent manner. |
