    Recognition of thymine adenine.base pairs by guanine in a pyrimidine triple helix motif (1989)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1989-09-01
    Description: Oligonucleotide recognition offers a powerful chemical approach for the sequence-specific binding of double-helical DNA. In the pyrimidine-Hoogsteen model, a binding size of greater than 15 homopurine base pairs affords greater than 30 discrete sequence-specific hydrogen bonds to duplex DNA. Because pyrimidine oligonucleotides limit triple helix formation to homopurine tracts, it is desirable to determine whether oligonucleotides can be used to bind all four base pairs of DNA. A general solution would allow targeting of oligonucleotides (or their analogs) to any given sequence in the human genome. A study of 20 base triplets reveals that the triple helix can be extended from homopurine to mixed sequences. Guanine contained within a pyrimidine oligonucleotide specifically recognizes thymine.adenine base pairs in duplex DNA. Such specificity allows binding at mixed sites in DNA from simian virus 40 and human immunodeficiency virus.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Griffin, L C -- Dervan, P B -- GM-35724/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Sep 1;245(4921):967-71.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2549639" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Site-specific cleavage of a yeast chromosome by oligonucleotide-directed triple-helix formation (1990)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1990-07-06
    Description: Oligonucleotides equipped with EDTA-Fe can bind specifically to duplex DNA by triple-helix formation and produce double-strand cleavage at binding sites greater than 12 base pairs in size. To demonstrate that oligonucleotide-directed triple-helix formation is a viable chemical approach for the site-specific cleavage of large genomic DNA, an oligonucleotide with EDTA-Fe at the 5' and 3' ends was targeted to a 20-base pair sequence in the 340-kilobase pair chromosome III of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Double-strand cleavage products of the correct size and location were observed, indicating that the oligonucleotide bound and cleaved the target site among almost 14 megabase pairs of DNA. Because oligonucleotide-directed triple-helix formation has the potential to be a general solution for DNA recognition, this result has implications for physical mapping of chromosomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Strobel, S A -- Dervan, P B -- GM 42966/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 Jul 6;249(4964):73-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Arnold and Mabel Beckman Laboratories of Chemical Synthesis, Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2195655" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Site-specific cleavage of human chromosome 4 mediated by triple-helix formation (1991)

    Publication Date: 1991-12-13
    Description: Direct physical isolation of specific DNA segments from the human genome is a necessary goal in human genetics. For testing whether triple-helix mediated enzymatic cleavage can liberate a specific segment of a human chromosome, the tip of human chromosome 4, which contains the entire candidate region for the Huntington's disease gene, was chosen as a target. A 16-base pyrimidine oligodeoxyribonucleotide was able to locate a 16-base pair purine target site within more than 10 gigabase pairs of genomic DNA and mediate the exact enzymatic cleavage at that site in more than 80 percent yield. The recognition motif is sufficiently generalizable that most cosmids should contain a sequence targetable by triple-helix formation. This method may facilitate the orchestrated dissection of human chromosomes from normal and affected individuals into megabase sized fragments and facilitate the isolation of candidate gene loci.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Strobel, S A -- Doucette-Stamm, L A -- Riba, L -- Housman, D E -- Dervan, P B -- HG00098/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- HG00329/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1991 Dec 13;254(5038):1639-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Arnold and Mabel Beckman Laboratories of Chemical Synthesis, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1836279" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Second structural motif for recognition of DNA by oligonucleotide-directed triple-helix formation (1991)

    Details
    Publication Date: 1991-03-15
    Description: Relative orientations of the DNA strands within a purine.purine.pyrimidine triple helix have been determined by affinity cleaving. A purine-rich oligonucleotide bound in the major groove of double-helical DNA antiparallel to the Watson-Crick purine strand. Binding depended upon the concentration of multivalent cations such as spermine or Mg2+, and appeared to be relatively independent of pH. Two models with specific hydrogen-bonding patterns for base triplets (G.GC, A.AT, and T.AT) are proposed to explain the sequence specificity of binding. The two models differ in the conformation about the glycosyl bond (syn or anti) and the location of the phosphate-deoxyribose backbone in the major groove of DNA. This motif broadens the structural frameworks available as a basis for the design of sequence-specific DNA binding molecules.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Beal, P A -- Dervan, P B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1991 Mar 15;251(4999):1360-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Arnold and Mabel Beckman Laboratories of Chemical Synthesis, Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2003222" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Inhibition of DNA binding proteins by oligonucleotide-directed triple helix formation (1989)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1989-08-18
    Description: Oligonucleotides that bind to duplex DNA in a sequence-specific manner by triple helix formation offer an approach to the experimental manipulation of sequence-specific protein binding. Micromolar concentrations of pyrimidine oligodeoxyribonucleotides are shown to block recognition of double helical DNA by prokaryotic modifying enzymes and a eukaryotic transcription factor at a homopurine target site. Inhibition is sequence-specific. Oligonucleotides containing 5-methylcytosine provide substantially more efficient inhibition than oligonucleotides containing cytosine. The results have implications for gene-specific repression by oligonucleotides or their analogs.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Maher, L J 3rd -- Wold, B -- Dervan, P B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1989 Aug 18;245(4919):725-30.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2549631" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Structural motif of the GCN4 DNA binding domain characterized by affinity cleaving (1990)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1990-05-18
    Description: The NH2-terminal locations of a dimer containing the DNA binding domain of the yeast transcriptional activator GCN4 have been mapped on the binding sites 5'-CTGACTAAT-3' and 5'-ATGACTCTT-3'. Affinity cleaving was effected by synthetic GCN4 proteins with Fe.EDTA moieties at the NH2-terminus. Analysis of the DNA cleavage patterns for dimers of the Fe.EDTA-proteins corresponding to GCN4 residues 222 to 281 and 226 to 281 revealed that the NH2-termini were in the major groove nine to ten base pairs apart and were symmetrically displaced four to five base pairs from the central C of the recognition site. This result is consistent with the Y-shaped scissor grip-leucine zipper model recently proposed for a class of DNA binding proteins important in the regulation of gene expression.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Oakley, M G -- Dervan, P B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1990 May 18;248(4957):847-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2111578" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A structural basis for recognition of A.T and T.A base pairs in the minor groove of B-DNA (1998)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1998-10-02
    Description: Polyamide dimers containing three types of aromatic rings-pyrrole, imidazole, and hydroxypyrrole-afford a small-molecule recognition code that discriminates among all four Watson-Crick base pairs in the minor groove. The crystal structure of a specific polyamide dimer-DNA complex establishes the structural basis for distinguishing T.A from A.T base pairs. Specificity for the T.A base pair is achieved by means of distinct hydrogen bonds between pairs of substituted pyrroles on the ligand and the O2 of thymine and N3 of adenine. In addition, shape-selective recognition of an asymmetric cleft between the thymine-O2 and the adenine-C2 was observed. Although hitherto similarities among the base pairs in the minor groove have been emphasized, the structure illustrates differences that allow specific minor groove recognition.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kielkopf, C L -- White, S -- Szewczyk, J W -- Turner, J M -- Baird, E E -- Dervan, P B -- Rees, D C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1998 Oct 2;282(5386):111-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Biology, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9756473" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Design of a G.C-specific DNA minor groove-binding peptide (1994)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

    Publication Date: 1994-10-28
    Description: A four-ring tripeptide containing alternating imidazole and pyrrole carboxamides specifically binds six-base pair 5'-(A,T)GCGC(A,T)-3' sites in the minor groove of DNA. The designed peptide has a specificity completely reversed from that of the tripyrrole distamycin, which binds A,T sequences. Structural studies with nuclear magnetic resonance revealed that two peptides bound side-by-side and in an antiparallel orientation in the minor groove. Each of the four imidazoles in the 2:1 ligand-DNA complex recognized a specific guanine amino group in the GCGC core through a hydrogen bond. Targeting a designated four-base pair G.C tract by this synthetic ligand supports the generality of the 2:1 peptide-DNA motif for sequence-specific minor groove recognition of DNA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Geierstanger, B H -- Mrksich, M -- Dervan, P B -- Wemmer, D E -- GM-27681/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM-43129/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1994 Oct 28;266(5185):646-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Graduate Group in Biophysics, University of California, Berkeley 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7939719" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Sequence-specific cleavage of double helical DNA by triple helix formation (1987)

    Publication Date: 1987-10-30
    Description: Homopyrimidine oligodeoxyribonucleotides with EDTA-Fe attached at a single position bind the corresponding homopyrimidine-homopurine tracts within large double-stranded DNA by triple helix formation and cleave at that site. Oligonucleotides with EDTA.Fe at the 5' end cause a sequence specific double strand break. The location and asymmetry of the cleavage pattern reveal that the homopyrimidine-EDTA probes bind in the major groove parallel to the homopurine strand of Watson-Crick double helical DNA. The sequence-specific recognition of double helical DNA by homopyrimidine probes is sensitive to single base mismatches. Homopyrimidine probes equipped with DNA cleaving moieties could be useful tools for mapping chromosomes.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Moser, H E -- Dervan, P B -- GM 35724/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1987 Oct 30;238(4827):645-50.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena 91125.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3118463" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
