Abstract：
:The unwinding of superhelical Col E1-DNA was studied by means of gel electrophoresis and electron microscopy after covalent binding of N-acetoxy-N-2-[14C]acetylaminofluorene (N-Aco-[14C]AAF) and its 7-iodo derivative (N-Aco-[14C]AAIF). Studies with both compounds indicated that complete unwinding of the supercoiled DNA required the binding of hydrocarbon residue to about 3% of the bases. Thus the unwinding angle per residue of N-2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) and its 7-iodo derivative was of 22 degrees +/- 3 and 18 degrees +/- 3 respectively. Our results are in good agreement with those obtained by Drinkwater et al. [9]. Precedent studies from this laboratory have shown that N-Aco-AAF and its 7-iodo derivative induce different local conformation change in native DNA (insertion-denaturation model and outside binding model respectively). The unexpected ability of the 7-iodo derivative to unwind supercoiled DNA is discussed.
