The design and synthesis of compounds that target mixed, AT/GC, DNA sequences is described. The design concept connects two N-methyl-benzimidazole-thiophene single GC recognition units with a flexible linker that lets the compound fit the shape and twist of the DNA minor groove while covering a full turn of the double helix. ...[more]

Project description:The high-resolution NMR structure of the first heterocyclic, non-amide, organic cation that strongly and selectively recognizes mixed AT/GC bp (bp=base pair) sequences of DNA in a 1:1 complex is described. Compound designs of this type provide essential methods for control of functional, non-genomic DNA sequences and have broad cell uptake capability, based on studies from animals to humans. The high-resolution structural studies described in this report are essential for understanding the molecular basis for the sequence-specific binding as well as for new ideas for additional compound designs for sequence-specific recognition. The molecular features, in this report, explain the mechanism of recognition of both A⋅T and G⋅C bps and are an interesting molecular recognition story. Examination of the experimental structure and the NMR restrained molecular dynamics model suggests that recognition of the G⋅C base pair involves two specific H-bonds. The structure illustrates a wealth of information on different DNA interactions and illustrates an interfacial water molecule that is a key component of the complex.

Project description:The classical model of DNA minor groove binding compounds is that they should have a crescent shape that closely fits the helical twist of the groove. Several compounds with relatively linear shape and large dihedral twist, however, have been found recently to bind strongly to the minor groove. These observations raise the question of how far the curvature requirement could be relaxed. As an initial step in experimental analysis of this question, a linear triphenyl diamidine, DB1111, and a series of nitrogen tricyclic analogues were prepared. The goal with the heterocycles is to design GC binding selectivity into heterocyclic compounds that can get into cells and exert biological effects. The compounds have a zero radius of curvature from amidine carbon to amidine carbon but a significant dihedral twist across the tricyclic and amidine-ring junctions. They would not be expected to bind well to the DNA minor groove by shape-matching criteria. Detailed DNase I footprinting studies of the sequence specificity of this set of diamidines indicated that a pyrimidine heterocyclic derivative, DB1242, binds specifically to a GC-rich sequence, -GCTCG-. It binds to the GC sequence more strongly than to the usual AT recognition sequences for curved minor groove agents. Other similar derivatives did not exhibit the GC specificity. Biosensor-surface plasmon resonance and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments indicate that DB1242 binds to the GC sequence as a highly cooperative stacked dimer. Circular dichroism results indicate that the compound binds in the minor groove. Molecular modeling studies support a minor groove complex and provide an inter-compound and compound-DNA hydrogen-bonding rational for the unusual GC binding specificity and the requirement for a pyrimidine heterocycle. This compound represents a new direction in the development of DNA sequence-specific agents, and it is the first non-polyamide, synthetic compound to specifically recognize a DNA sequence with a majority of GC base pairs.

Project description:Sequence-specific binding to DNA is crucial for targeting transcription factor-DNA complexes to modulate gene expression. The heterocyclic diamidine, DB2277, specifically recognizes a single G•C base pair in the minor groove of mixed base pair sequences of the type AAAGTTT. NMR spectroscopy reveals the presence of major and minor species of the bound compound. To understand the principles that determine the binding affinity and orientation in mixed sequences of DNA, over thirty DNA hairpin substrates were examined by NMR and thermal melting. The NMR exchange dynamics between major and minor species shows that the exchange is much faster than compound dissociation determined from biosensor-surface plasmon resonance. Extensive modifications of DNA sequences resulted in a unique DNA sequence with binding site AAGATA that binds DB2277 in a single orientation. A molecular docking result agrees with the model representing rapid flipping of DB2277 between major and minor species. Imino spectral analysis of a (15)N-labeled central G clearly shows the crucial role of the exocyclic amino group of G in sequence-specific recognition. Our results suggest that this approach can be expanded to additional modules for recognition of more sequence-specific DNA complexes. This approach provides substantial information about the sequence-specific, highly efficient, dynamic nature of minor groove binding agents.

Project description:This report describes a breakthrough in a project to design minor groove binders to recognize any sequence of DNA. A key goal is to invent synthetic chemistry for compound preparation to recognize an adjacent GG sequence that has been difficult to target. After trying several unsuccessful compound designs, an N-alkyl-benzodiimidazole structure was selected to provide two H-bond acceptors for the adjacent GG-NH groups. Flanking thiophenes provide a preorganized structure with strong affinity, DB2831, and the structure is terminated by phenyl-amidines. The binding experimental results for DB2831 with a target AAAGGTTT sequence were successful and include a high ΔT m, biosensor SPR with a K D of 4 nM, a similar K D from fluorescence titrations and supporting competition mass spectrometry. MD analysis of DB2831 bound to an AAAGGTTT site reveals that the two unprotonated N of the benzodiimidazole group form strong H-bonds (based on distance) with the two central G-NH while the central -CH of the benzodiimidazole is close to the -C[double bond, length as m-dash]O of a C base. These three interactions account for the strong preference of DB2831 for a -GG- sequence. Surprisingly, a complex with one dynamic, interfacial water is favored with 75% occupancy.

Project description:DNA minor-groove-binding compounds have limited biological applications, in part due to problems with sequence specificity that cause off-target effects. A model to enhance specificity has been developed with the goal of preparing compounds that bind to two AT sites separated by G·C base pairs. Compounds of interest were probed using thermal melting, circular dichroism, mass spectrometry, biosensor-SPR, and molecular modeling methods. A new minor groove binder that can strongly and specifically recognize a single G·C base pair with flanking AT sequences has been prepared. This multi-site DNA recognition mode offers novel design principles to recognize entirely new DNA motifs.

Project description:The T:G mismatched base pair is associated with many genetic mutations. Understanding its biological consequences may be aided by studying the structural perturbation of DNA caused by a T:G base pair and by specific probing of the mismatch using small molecular ligands. We have shown previously that AR-1-144, a tri-imidazole (Im-Im-Im) minor groove binder, recognizes the sequence CCGG. NMR structural analysis of the symmetric 2:1 complex of AR-1-144 and GAACCGGTTC revealed that each AR-1-144 binds to four base pairs with the guanine N2 amino group forming a bifurcated hydrogen bond to a side-by-side Im/Im pair. We predicted that the free G-N2 amino group in a T:G wobble base pair can form two individual hydrogen bonds to a side-by-side Im/Im pair. Thus an Im/Im pair may be a good recognition motif for a T:G base pair in DNA. Cooperative and tight binding of an AR-1-144 homodimer to GAACTGGTTC permits a detailed structural analysis by 2D NOE NMR refinement and the refined structure confirms our prediction. Surprisingly, AR-1-144 does not bind to GAATCGGTTC. We further show that both the Im-Im-Im/Im-Py-Im heterodimer and the Im-Im-Im/Im-Im-Im homodimer bind strongly to the CACGGGTC + GACTCGTG duplex. These results together suggest that an Im/Im pair can specifically recognize a single T:G mismatch. Our results may be useful in future design of molecules (e.g. linked dimers) that can recognize a single T:G mismatch with specificity.

Project description:A series of small diamidines with thiophene and modified N-alkylbenzimidazole σ-hole module represent specific binding to single G⋅C base pair (bp) DNA sequence. The variation of N-alkyl or aromatic rings were sensitive to microstructures of the DNA minor groove. Thirteen new compounds were synthesized to test their binding affinity and selectivity. The dicyanobenzimidazoles needed to synthesize the target diamidines were made via condensation/cyclization reactions of different aldehydes with different 3-amino-4-(alkyl- or phenyl-amino) benzonitriles. The final diamidines were synthesized using lithium bis-trimethylsilylamide (LiN[Si(CH3 )3 ]2 ) or Pinner methods. The newly synthesized compounds showed strong binding and selectivity to AAAGTTT compared to similar sequences AAATTT and AAAGCTTT investigated by several biophysical methods including biosensor-SPR, fluorescence spectroscopy, DNA thermal melting, ESI-MS spectrometry, circular dichroism, and molecular dynamics. The binding affinity results determined by fluorescence spectroscopy are in accordance with those obtained by biosensor-SPR. These small size single G⋅C bp highly specific binders extend the compound database for future biological applications.

Project description:The compounds synthesized in this research were designed with the goal of establishing a new paradigm for mixed-base-pair DNA sequence-specific recognition. The design scheme starts with a cell-permeable heterocyclic cation that binds to AT base pair sites in the DNA minor groove. Modifications were introduced in the original compound to include an H-bond accepting group to specifically recognize the G-NH that projects into the minor groove. Therefore, a series of heterocyclic cations substituted with an azabenzimidazole ring has been designed and synthesized for mixed-base-pair DNA recognition. The most successful compound, 12a, had an azabenzimidazole to recognize G and additional modifications for general minor groove interactions. It binds to the DNA site -AAAGTTT- more strongly than the -AAATTT- site without GC and indicates the design success. Structural modifications of 12a generally weakened binding. The interactions of the new compound with a variety of DNA sequences with and without GC base pairs were evaluated by thermal melting analysis, circular dichroism, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance, and molecular modeling.

Project description:Phenylamidine cationic groups linked by a furan ring (furamidine) and related compounds bind as monomers to AT sequences of DNA. An unsymmetric derivative (DB293) with one of the phenyl rings of furamidine replaced with a benzimidazole has been found by quantitative footprinting analyses to bind to GC-containing sites on DNA more strongly than to pure AT sequences. NMR structural analysis and surface plasmon resonance binding results clearly demonstrate that DB293 binds in the minor groove at specific GC-containing sequences of DNA in a highly cooperative manner as a stacked dimer. Neither the symmetric bisphenyl nor bisbenzimidazole analogs of DB293 bind significantly to the GC containing sequences. DB293 provides a paradigm for design of compounds for specific recognition of mixed DNA sequences and extends the boundaries for small molecule-DNA recognition.

Project description:Small molecules that bind DNA in a sequence-specific manner could act as antibiotic, antiviral, or anticancer agents because of their potential ability to manipulate gene expression. Our laboratory has developed threading polyintercalators based on 1,4,5,8-naphthalene diimide (NDI) units connected in a head-to-tail fashion by flexible peptide linkers. Previously, a threading tetraintercalator composed of alternating minor-major-minor groove-binding modules was shown to bind specifically to a 14 bp DNA sequence with a dissociation half-life of 16 days [Holman, G. G., et al. (2011) Nat. Chem. 3, 875-881]. Herein are described new NDI-based tetraintercalators with a different major groove-binding module and a reversed N to C directionality of one of the minor groove-binding modules. DNase I footprinting and kinetic analyses revealed that these new tetraintercalators are able to discriminate, by as much as 30-fold, 14 bp DNA binding sites that differ by 1 or 2 bp. Relative affinities were found to correlate strongly with dissociation rates, while overall C(2) symmetry in the DNA-binding molecule appeared to contribute to enhanced association rates.
