Michael W. Van Dyke and Peter B. Dervan* abstract: The DNA binding sites for the antitumor, antiviral, antibiotics chromomycin, mithramycin, and olivomycin on 70 base pairs of heterogeneous DNA have been determined by using the (methidiumpropyl-EDTA) iron (II)[MPE-Fe (II)] DNA cleavage inhibition patterntechnique. Two DNA re-striction fragments 117 and 168 base pairs in length containing the lactose operon promoter-operator region were prepared with complementary strands labeled with 32P at the 3'end. MPE-Fe (II) was allowed to partially cleave therestriction fragment preequilibrated with either chromomycin, mithra-mycin, or olivomycin in the presence of Mg2+. The preferred binding sites for chromomycin, mithramycin, and olivomycin. class of small molecules important in antibiotic, antiviral, and antitumor chemotherapy bind to double-helical DNA (Gale et al., 1981). The base sequence preferences of drugs binding to DNA have usually been determined from spec-trophotometric analyses of the overall affinity and stoichiometry of drug binding on synthetic homopolymer and copolymer DNAs.(Methidiumpropyl-EDTA) iron (II), whichcontains the DNA intercalator methidium covalently bound by a short hydrocarbon tether to the metal chelator ethylenediamine-tetraacetate (EDTA)(Figure 1) in the presence of ferrous ion and oxygen, efficiently produces single-strand breaks in dou-ble-helical DNA (Hertzberg & Dervan, 1982). Importantly, MPE-Fe (II) is a relatively non-sequence-specific DNA cleaving agent (Van Dyke et al., 1982; Van Dyke & Dervan, 1982). In effect, MPE-Fe (II) is a small synthetic scissor for DNA that mimics the behavior of the DNA cleaving enzyme DNase I. One useful method for determining protein binding sites on native DNA is the DNA cleavage inhibition pattern technique, which combines DNase I cleavage of protein-pro-tected DNA fragments and Maxam-Gilbert sequence deter-mination methods (Galas & Schmitz, 1978; Schmitz & Galas, 1982). This useful “DNase I footprinting” techniques relies on the relatively low sequence specificity of the enzyme in a partial DNA cleavage reaction and the ability of DNA-bound protein to prevent cleavage of the DNA backbone between the base pairs it covers. The protein-protected DNA sequence is
