Selective binding of actinomycin D and distamycin A to DNA.

Abstract:

:The exact sites at which a number of drugs inhibit the nick translation of DNA by E.coli DNA polymerase-I have been pinpointed. In order to do this, a method has been developed for sequencing double-stranded plasmid DNA from the site of a specifically induced nick. The initial experiments have concentrated on analysis of drug inhibition of nick translation in a 200 nucleotide region near the Eco Rl origin of pBR313. Many drugs were found to inhibit nick translation in a highly sequence specific manner. For actinomycin D, significant inhibition occurred at just four sites in the nucleotide sequence under test and only one sequence (pGpCpGpCpGpGp) gave really strong inhibition. Distamycin A gave a different pattern of inhibition with particularly strong stops in just two of the many A-T rich regions in the DNA. Experiments with caffeine suggest that factors in addition to primary sequence are important in determining where major inhibition occurs.

  • Modulating role of RNA structure in alternative splicing of a critical exon in the spinal muscular atrophy genes.

    abstract::Humans have two nearly identical copies of the survival motor neuron (SMN ) gene, SMN1 and SMN2. Homozygous loss of SMN1 causes spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). SMN2 is unable to prevent the disease due to skipping of exon 7. Using a systematic approach of in vivo selection, we have previously demonstrated that a weak 5...
