delta 39-635 | in contrast to camptothecin, baicalein and luteolin fail to inhibit the religation step when the drugs are added to pre-formed enzyme substrate binary complex. This differential mechanism to induce the stabilization of cleavable complex with topoisomerase I and DNA by these selected flavones and camptothecin result in investigations of the effect of baicalein and luteolin on camptothecin-resistant mutant enzyme LdTOP1D39LS lacking 139 amino acids of the large subunit | Leishmania donovani |
additional information | Leishmania donovani strain Ld160CPTR camptothecin-resistant Leishmania donovani strain. The camptothecin-resistant strain reached a resistance level of 32fold over the wild-type Leishmania donovani AG83 strain. Baicalein and luteolin show inhibition of relaxation activity up to 60% at 30 mM concentration compared with that of camptothecin, where no inhibition of relaxationactivity is observed | Leishmania donovani |
Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
baicalein | (5,6,7-trihydroxyflavone), naturally occurring flavone, isolated from the stem-bark of Oroxylum indicum, binds to the free enzyme and also intercalates into the DNA at a very high concentration (300 mM) without binding to the minor grove | Leishmania donovani | |
camptothecin | the best characterized topoisomerase IB inhibitor. Ability of the naturally occurring flavones to stabilize the covalent topoisomerase IDNA complex in vitro and in living cells is similar to that of the known topoisomerase I inhibitor camptothecin (CPT) | Leishmania donovani | |
dihydrobetulinic acid | DHBA, pentacyclic triterpenoid and catalytic inhibitor of both topoisomerases I and II that antagonizes camptothecin-induced cleavage, do not induce the formation of SDS-K+ precipitable complex, when Leishmania donovani cells incubated for 3 h with the compound | Leishmania donovani | |
luteolin | naturally occurring flavone, binds to the free enzyme and also intercalates into the DNA at a very high concentration (300 mM) without binding to the minor grove | Leishmania donovani | |
additional information | Comparisons of topoisomerase I-mediated DNA cleavage induced by flavones and camptothecin. The rates of stabilization of cleavable complex by the flavones are 2-to 3fold reduced compared with that of camptothecin. Analysis of drug induced covalent topoisomerase IDNA complex formation in Leishmania donovani promastigotes by KCl-SDS precipitation assay. Treatment of the cells with baicalein, luteolin and quercetin for 5 h significantly increases the SDS-K+ precipitable complex compared with the untreated control cells. Relief of inhibition on dilution suggests that the selected flavones are acting reversibly against topoisomerase I. Fluorescence spectroscopy used to check directly the binding of luteolin, baicalein and quercetin to the enzyme (LdTOP1LS). Fluorescence titration data reveal that these selected flavones interact with free enzyme and perhaps explain for stronger inhibition in the enzymedrug pre-incubation experiments. Ability of the selected flavones to displace ethidium bromide from DNA is determined by a fluorescence emission assay. Effect of flavones on single turnover cleavage and religation activity measured, interaction of these flavones with enzyme during trans-esterification reaction with DNA is a pre-requirement for the stabilization of topoisomerase I-cleavable complex and subsequently inhibiting the religation step | Leishmania donovani | |
quercetin | naturally occurring flavone, binds to the free enzyme and also intercalates into the DNA at a very high concentration (300 mM) without binding to the minor grove | Leishmania donovani |

heterodimer | Leishmania donovani topoisomerase I is an unusual bi-subunit enzyme where the core DNA binding domain and the catalytic domain harboring the consensus SKXXY motif lie in separate subunits. The two subunits (LdTOP1L and LdTOP1S) are synthesized by two different genes, which associate with each other through proteinprotein interaction to form an active heterodimeric topoisomerase I within the parasite | Leishmania donovani |
