The interactions of echinomycin and the DNA decamer [d(ACGTATACGT)]2were studied by proton NMR. Echinomycin binds cooperatively as a bisintercalator at the CpG steps. The terminal A·T base pairs are Hoogsteen base paired, but none of the four central A·T base pairs are Hoogsteen base paired. However, binding of the drug induces unwinding of the DNA which is propagated to the central ApT step. All four central A·T base pairs are destabilized relative to those in the free DNA. Furthermore, based on these and other results from our laboratory, we conclude that the formation of stable Hoogsteen base pairs may not be the relevant structural changein vivo. The structural changes propagated between adjacent ACGT binding sites are the unwinding of the duplex and destabilization of the base pairing between binding sites.
