Abstract

The effect of the polyamide ImPyPy-Dp (Im = N-methylimidazole-2-carboxamide, Py = N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxamide, and Dp = dimethylaminopropylamide), which binds as an antiparallel dimer in the Watson—Crick minor groove, on pyrimidine • purine • pyrimidine triple helix stability was investigated. A DNA restriction fragment was designed which contained two triple helix sites, one which overlapped a minor groove ligand site (proximal), and a control site 13 base pairs away (distal). Using quantitative DNase I footprint titration experiments the equilibrium association constant of oligonucleotide 5′-TTTTTm5CTTTm5CTTTm5CT-3′ (1) to each site was measured in the absence and presence of the polyamide dimer. Our data indicate that triple helix formation is compatible with a polyamide dimer binding in the minor groove of DNA at an overlapping site. No cooperative effect of the polyamide dimer on the equilibrium association constant of oligonucleotide 1 was observed.
