Synthesis and biophysical studies of hairpin polyamides targeting the Brn-3b and GATA-3 transcriptional sites
摘要:
Hairpin polyamide analogs of distamycin A (1) were designed and synthesized to evaluate their ability to bind 5'-ATAGA-3' and 5'-AGATA-3' sequences which are important elements for controlling the function of the Brn-3b and GATA-3 transcriptional factors, respectively. The hairpin polyamides are composed of pyrrole and imidazole units linked together via a.-aminobutyrate (GABA) unit. Hairpins 2b (Py-Py-Im-gamma-Py-Py-Py) and 2c (Im-Py-Py-gamma-Py-Py-Py) were synthesized to target the respective Brn-3b and GATA-3 cognate sequences. Preliminary biophysical studies including thermal denaturation and circular dichroism were performed and the results ascertained the binding of hairpins 2a and 2b to their respective cognate DNA sequences.
