Abstract：
:Evidence for the reversible binding of paraquat to calf thymus DNA has been obtained using equilibrium dialysis and thermal melting point determinations. The data indicated the presence of at least two populations of binding site with affinity constants of 6.2 X 10(4) and 7.1 X 10(3) M-1, respectively. The binding capacities of DNA for paraquat were 66 and 480 nmol/mumol DNA nucleotide, respectively, and were equivalent to one ligand bound per 2 DNA phosphate groups. Putrescine inhibited paraquat binding to the low affinity sites without altering binding to the high affinity sites. Scatchard plots of paraquat binding characteristics indicated the presence of positive cooperativity between the compound and DNA. Thermal melting curves of DNA in the presence of paraquat and the endogenous amines putrescine, spermidine and spermine, provided evidence that paraquat cross-linked to DNA with a similar affinity as spermidine. The thermal melting point data also suggested the presence of positive cooperativity between ligand and macromolecule that possibly resulted from a conformation change in the structure of the DNA molecule. Paraquat competitively inhibited the binding of ethidium bromide to DNA and this effect was reversed by Na+. From the data, it is suggested that paraquat binds primarily to the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA backbone but is displaced into the interbase region occupied by the intercalator ethidium bromide. DNA binding of paraquat may, in part, account for its weak mutagenic activity.
