Abstract
Five classic DNA minor groove-binding drugs and a series of bis-linked lexitropsins based on netropsin and distamycin have been screened for their effectiveness in inhibiting transcription by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) on a poly(rA).oligo(dT) template-primer (TP). The two most effective drugs, 3,5 m-pyridyl-linked bisdistamycin (MPyr) and trans-vinyl-linked bisdistamycin (TVin), show (1) enhanced inhibition in reactions initiated with pre-incubated enzyme template-primer (ETP) and (2) reduced affinity for a "free" TP analog, when compared with the parent drug distamycin. All three drugs lack the ability to inhibit processive incorporation of nucleotide, suggesting drug intervention instead at initiation or termination of processive cycles. The two bis-linked drugs exhibit different kinetic behavior with reverse transcriptase's two substrates: template-primer and nucleotide. When primer is the variable substrate, TVin is partially noncompetitive and MPyr is dead-end competitive (Ki = 6.5 microM). With nucleotide as substrate, TVin is noncompetitive at low drug concentrations and MPyr is uncompetitive. Gel band mobility shift assays with MPyr indicate that the drug inhibits via entrapment of TP on the enzyme rather than dis...Continue Reading
