Single-strand and double-strand deoxyribonucleic acid breaks produced by several bleomycin analogues.

Abstract:

:Production of single-strand breaks (ssb) and double-strand breaks (dsb) of PM2 phage DNA by several structurally related bleomycin (BLM) analogues was studied by gel electrophoresis. BLM A2 and BLM B2 produced a comparable extent of dsb. In various experiments, BLM A2 and BLM B2, at 22-41 ng/mL, degraded 50% of the form I DNA into 33-38% form II and 12-17% form III DNA. BLM B1' produced ssb and dsb at a ratio similar to that of BLM A2, but both at a rate less than half that of BLM A2. Phleomycin (PLM) D1 induced an equivalent amount of ssb but only one-eighth of dsb induced by BLM B2. The relatively lower extent dsb production for PLM D1 was observed either in borate buffer (pH 9.5) or in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) and in the presence or absence of exogenous Fe(II). Deamido-BLM A2 produced ssb to an extent approximately half that of BLM A2 and dsb to less than one-eighth that of BLM A2. The following conclusions were drawn. (1) BLM analogues produced ssb and dsb to different extents and ratios. (2) The ratio of dsb to ssb varied depending on the analogue, indicating a lack of a direct correlation between ssb and dsb. (3) The extent of ssb and dsb was affected by modifications on both the C- and N-terminal half-molecules of BLM: modification of either the N-terminal amide or the bithiazole greatly reduced dsb, whereas changes in structure or charge in the C-terminal amine affected ssb and dsb to a similar extent.
