Stabilisation of TG- and AG-containing antiparallel DNA triplexes by tripler-binding ligands
Stabilisation of TG- and AG-containing antiparallel DNA triplexes by tripler-binding ligands
We have used DNase I footprinting to examine the interaction of several triplex-binding ligands with antiparallel TG- and AG-containing triplexes. We find that although a 17mer TG-containing oligonucleotide on its own fails to produce a footprint at concentrations as high as 30 µM, this interaction can be stabilised by several ligands. Within a series of disubstituted amidoanthraquinones we find that the 2,7- regioisomer affords the best stabilisation of this TG triplex, though the 1,8- isomer also stabilises this interaction to some extent. By contrast the 1,5- and 2,6- regioisomers show no interaction with TG triplexes. Similar studies with a 13mer AG-containing oligonucleotide show the opposite pattern of stabilisation: the 2,6- and 1,5- isomers stabilise this triplex, but the 2,7- and 1,8-compounds do not. The polycyclic compound BePI strongly stabilises TG- but not AG-containing triplexes, while a substituted naphthylquinoline interacts with both antiparallel triplex motifs.

Abstract
We have used DNase I footprinting to examine the interaction of several triplex-binding ligands with antiparallel TG- and AG-containing triplexes. We find that although a 17mer TG-containing oligonucleotide on its own fails to produce a footprint at concentrations as high as 30 µM, this interaction can be stabilised by several ligands. Within a series of disubstituted amidoanthraquinones we find that the 2,7- regioisomer affords the best stabilisation of this TG triplex, though the 1,8- isomer also stabilises this interaction to some extent. By contrast the 1,5- and 2,6- regioisomers show no interaction with TG triplexes. Similar studies with a 13mer AG-containing oligonucleotide show the opposite pattern of stabilisation: the 2,6- and 1,5- isomers stabilise this triplex, but the 2,7- and 1,8-compounds do not. The polycyclic compound BePI strongly stabilises TG- but not AG-containing triplexes, while a substituted naphthylquinoline interacts with both antiparallel triplex motifs.
