Esperamycin shows potent DNA cleavage activity in the presence of sulfhydryl-containing compounds such as glutathione and dithiothreitol. In the esperamycin-mediated DNA degradation, deoxythymidylic and deoxycytidylic acid residues at oligopyrimidine regions of 5'-CTC, TTC, and TTT sequences are preferred cleavage sites. The DNA binding of a typical A-T specific minor groove binder, netropsin or distamycin A, strongly inhibits the DNA cuttings at 5'-TTC, TTT, and AAA sequences.
