A method for coupling bleomycin to oligonucleotides is suggested. The reaction was carried out between the amino group of the spermidine residue of the bleomycin A5 Cu(II)-complex (Cu(II)Blm-RH) and the 5'-phosphate group of the oligonucleotide pd(CCAAACA) (I) activated with a mixture of triphenylphosphine and 2,2'-dipyridyldisulphide in the presence of 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine-1-oxide. The resultant compound (Ia) (yield 70%) forms more stable complementary complexes than the parent oligonucleotide (delta Tm = 11 degrees C). When Cu(II) ion was removed from (Ia), compound (Ib) formed which effectively (80%) cleaved pd(TGTTTGGCGAAGGA). Neither pd(TCCTTCG) nor the oligonucleotide tail of the reagent (Ib) were destroyed under the cleavage conditions. Free Blm-RH and bleomycin bound in the reagent (Ib) damage different regions of the target.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories. Sequence Data, Molecular,Molecular Sequencing Data,Data, Molecular Sequence,Data, Molecular Sequencing,Sequencing Data, Molecular
D009691 Nucleic Acid Denaturation Disruption of the secondary structure of nucleic acids by heat, extreme pH or chemical treatment. Double strand DNA is "melted" by dissociation of the non-covalent hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. Denatured DNA appears to be a single-stranded flexible structure. The effects of denaturation on RNA are similar though less pronounced and largely reversible. DNA Denaturation,DNA Melting,RNA Denaturation,Acid Denaturation, Nucleic,Denaturation, DNA,Denaturation, Nucleic Acid,Denaturation, RNA,Nucleic Acid Denaturations
D009841 Oligonucleotides Polymers made up of a few (2-20) nucleotides. In molecular genetics, they refer to a short sequence synthesized to match a region where a mutation is known to occur, and then used as a probe (OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBES). (Dorland, 28th ed) Oligonucleotide
D001761 Bleomycin A complex of related glycopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces verticillus consisting of bleomycin A2 and B2. It inhibits DNA metabolism and is used as an antineoplastic, especially for solid tumors.
