The DNA sequence specificity of cyanomorpholinoadriamycin. 1991

Department of Biochemistry, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria, Australia.

Cyanomorpholinoadriamycin (1 microM) was reacted in a transcription buffer with DNA of an initiated transcription complex. Subsequent elongation of the initiated complex revealed permanent transcriptional blockages at 16 sites after only 5 min of drug-DNA reaction time. The most dominant sites were immediately prior to 5'-CC (six) and 5'-GG (six) sequences of the non-template strand, consistent with the presence of intrastrand crosslinking between adjacent guanine residues. Minor levels of blockage were at 5'-GC and 5'-CG sequences and may reflect low levels of interstrand crosslinking.

D003432	Cross-Linking Reagents	Reagents with two reactive groups, usually at opposite ends of the molecule, that are capable of reacting with and thereby forming bridges between side chains of amino acids in proteins; the locations of naturally reactive areas within proteins can thereby be identified; may also be used for other macromolecules, like glycoproteins, nucleic acids, or other.

D004247	DNA	A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
