Revised Manuscript Received November 1, 1994® abstract: Neocarzinostatin chromophore (NCS chrom) belongsto a family of highly potent enediyne antitumor antibiotics which bind to specific DNA sequences and cause single-and/or double-strand lesions. NCS chrom—DNA complexes have eluded structural studies since the native form of the drug is extremely labile in aqueous conditions. We report the three-dimensional structure of the stable glutathione postactivated NCS chrom (NCSi-glu)—DNA complex [NCSi-glu-d (GGAGCGC)* d (GCGCTCC)] using NMR and distance geometry—molecular dynamicssimulation methods. NCSi-glu interacts with the GCTC tetranucleotide on one strand and with the AGC trinucleotide on the other strand through the unique intercalation at the 5'-CT/5'-AG step and minor groove binding. The DNA—drug complex exhibits an extended, unwound V-shaped intercalation site and wider and shallower grooves than the free DNA duplex. The structure of the complex manifests specific van der Waals interactions and H-bondformation between the carbohydrate moiety and a specific DNA sugar/phosphate. Prominent among those are the contacts of the NCSi-glu residues with the functional groups in the minor groove that are characteristic of individual DNA bases. Theseresults provide a structural model for understanding the sequence specificity of the single-and double-strand cleavage at the AGC and related sites by the enediyne NCS chrom.Neocarzinostatin chromophore (NCS chrom, 1 Figure 1) exists in nature as a 1: 1 complex with its host protein (Ishida et al., 1965; Napier et al., 1979; Kim et al., 1993). The isolated chromophore has been studied extensively as the prototype compound for a family of highly potent antitumor antibiotics [reviewed by Goldberg (1991)]. The target of action for these antibiotics, which include the chromophores of kedarcidin (Lam et al., 1991) and C-1027 (Otani et al., 1988) proteins, as well as the enediyne compounds dyne-micin (Konishi et al., 1990), calicheamicins, and esperam-icins (Lee et al., 1987; Golik et al., 1987), is thought to be cellular DNA [reviewed by Dedon and Goldberg (1992)]. The novelty of these molecules stems from their chemical structure which consists of a highly strained enediyne ring and a variety of substituent groups (Edo et al., 1985; Nicolaou & Dai, 1991). For NCS chrom, nucleophilic addition of thiol to the C12 position is required for promoting DNA cleavage in vitro and in vivo. In NCS chrom, activation of the enediyne ring results in the formation of a
