摘要: The influence of DNA topology on stainability with the externally binding fluorochromes Hoechst 33258 (HO) and mithramycin (MI) was investigated in HeLa nuclei comparison intercalating dye propidium iodide (PI). Changes were induced a mild DNAse I treatment. Stainability properties untreated nuclease-treated compared those supercoiled-circular relaxed-linear forms plasmid pBR322. DNAse-treated stained HO showed higher fluorescence intensity than control samples, independently concentration, contrast findings obtained PI. Similar behaviour observed form pBR322, molecule. With MI, did not depend topology, whereas similar to that HO. In order assess whether this discrepancy depended differences availability DNAse-sensitive sites fluorochromes, resonance energy transfer (FRET) studies performed HO+PI, or HO+MI pairs. After digestion, relative FRET efficiency between donor acceptor molecules (PI MI) reduced significantly only when MI acceptor. This result may be due greater MI. These indicate base-specific affected by chromatin regions.
