Conformational changes induced in DNA by the in vitro reaction with the mutagenic amine: 3-N,N-acetoxyacetylamino-4,6-dimethyldipyrido (1,2-a: 3', 2'-d) imidazole
Abstract
The conformation of synthetic or natural DNAs modified in vitro by covalent binding of N-AcO-A-Glu-P-3 was investigated by fluorescence and circular dichroism. In all cases, substitution occurs mainly on the C8 of guanine residues. In modified poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) or poly(dA-dC).poly(dG-dT) in B conformation, A-Glu-P-3 residues interact strongly with the bases whereas in Z conformation these residues are largely exposed to the solvent and interact weakly with the bases. A-Glu-P-3 and N-acetyl-2-aminofluorene (AAF) residues are equally efficient to induce the B-Z transition of poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) and of poly(dA-dC).poly(dG-dT). Modifications of poly(dG).poly(dC) and calf thymus DNA indicate strong interactions between A-Glu-P-3 and the bases.
