Abstract
A kinetoplast DNA minicircle of a Leishmania Spp. binds to several proteins of the kinetoplast Lysates of kinetoplasts of Leishmania grown in the presence of berenil show complete disappearance of some of these protein bands, while the rest of the proteins present appear as much less intense bands in South Western blots when probed with either the conserved or variable regions of the minicircle or whole minicircle DNA. The conserved region of minicircle DNA complexed with berenil in vitro also fails to interact with the DNA binding proteins of kinetoplast of untreated cell in South Western blots. Since berenil induces dyskinetoplasty of kinetoplastidae, the results indicate that interference of protein-DNA interaction in the presence of berenil may be the primary event in making organisms dyskinetoplastic.
