| Abstract | DNA topoisomerase I (top1) is the target of potent anticancer agents, including camptothecins and DNA intercalators, which reversibly stabilize (trap) top1 catalytic intermediates (cleavage complexes). The aim of the present study was to define the structural relationship between the site(s) of covalently bound intercalating agents, whose solution conformations in DNA are known, and the site(s) of top1 cleavage. Two diastereomeric pairs of oligonucleotide 22-mers, derived from a sequence used to determine the crystal structure of top1–DNA complexes, were synthesized. One pair contained either a trans-opened 10R- or 10S-benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide adduct at the N 6-amino group of a central 2′-deoxyadenosine residue in the scissile strand, and the other pair contained the same two adducts in the nonscissile strand. These adducts were derived from the (+)-(7R,8S,9S,10R)- and (−)-(7S,8R,9R,10S)-7,8-diol 9,10-epoxides in which the benzylic 7-hydroxyl group and the epoxide oxygen are trans. On the basis of analogy with known solution conformations of duplex oligonucleotides containing these adducts, we conclude that top1 cleavage complexes are trapped when the hydrocarbon adduct is intercalated between the base pairs flanking a preexisting top1 cleavage site, or between the base pairs immediately downstream (3′ relative to the scissile strand) from this site. We propose a model with the +1 base rotated out of the duplex, and in which the intercalated adduct prevents religation of the corresponding nucleotide at the 5′ end of the cleaved DNA. These results suggest mechanisms whereby intercalating agents interfere with the normal function of human top1. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
