C.-H. Chang and CF Meares* abstract: Light-induced strand scission of DNA by co-balt-bleomycins is more likely to occur at certain base se-quences than others. By use of 32P-end-labeled DNA re-striction fragments as the substrates for cleavage, products have been analyzed on high-resolution polyacrylamide gels and compared to those produced by iron-bleomycin. The results indicate that the sites of damage to DNA are similar in both cases: pyrimidine residues located at the 3'side of a guanine are preferentially attacked. Consistent with the observed nicking specificity, interactions between cobalt-bleomycin and guanine residues in the trinucleotide sequence GGT are re-vealed in a dimethyl sulfate methylation experiment. TheBleomycin (BLM) 1** is the name of a group of glycopeptide antibiotics used clinically in the treatment of cancer (Umezawa et al., 1966; Blum et al., 1973; Crooke & Bradner, 1976); the drug is thought to act in vivo by chemically degrading cellular DNA (Suzuki et al., 1969; Terasima et al., 1970).
