Characteristics of excision repair of pyrimidine dimers in eukaryotic cells as assayed with anti-dimer sera.
نویسنده
چکیده
An antiserum that recognizes the three types of pyrimidine dimers induced by UV-light in DNA was used to monitor their removal from eukaryotic cell nuclei. Cells able to excise dimers display a similar removal pattern: a fast process completed within a few hours leaving many dimers in the DNA.

DNA Damage Levels Determine Cyclobutyl Pyrimidine Dimer Repair Mechanisms in Alfalfa Seedlings.
Ultraviolet radiation in sunlight damages DNA in plants, but little is understood about the types, lesion capacity, and coordination of repair pathways. We challenged intact alfalfa seedlings with UV doses that induced different initial levels of cyclobutyl pyrimidine dimers and measured repair by excision and photoreactivation. By using alkaline gel electrophoresis of nonradioactive DNAs treat...
متن کاملDark repair of ultraviolet-irradiated deoxyribonucleic acid by bacteriophage T4: purification and characterization of a dimer-specific phage-induced endonuclease.
The purification and properties of an ultraviolet (UV) repair endonuclease are described. The enzyme is induced by infection of cells of Escherichia coli with phage T4 and is missing from extracts of cells infected with the UV-sensitive and excision-defective mutant T4V(1). The enzyme attacks UV-irradiated deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) containing either hydroxymethylcytosine or cytosine, but does...
متن کاملContribution to the study of excision repair following UV irradiation in mammalian cells cultivated in vitro.
The absence of pyrimidine dimer excision after UV irradiation in rat cell line was confirmed. The possibility of excision repair system depression by acidification of medium with H3PO4 in HeLa cells has been proved. The results obtained by two different methods of deproteinization and DNA isolation are in good conformity.
متن کاملRecombination between Homologous Chromosomes Induced by Unrepaired UV-Generated DNA Damage Requires Mus81p and Is Suppressed by Mms2p
DNA lesions caused by UV radiation are highly recombinogenic. In wild-type cells, the recombinogenic effect of UV partially reflects the processing of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers into DNA gaps or breaks by the enzymes of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. In this study, we show that unprocessed pyrimidine dimers also potently induce recombination between homologs. In NER-deficient r...
متن کاملDNA synthesis in irradiated mammalian cells.
One of the first responses observed in S phase mammalian cells that have suffered DNA damage is the inhibition of initiation of DNA replicons. In cells exposed to ionizing radiation, a single-strand break appears to be the stimulus for this effect, whereby the initiation of many adjacent replicons (a replicon cluster) is blocked by a single-strand break in any one of them. In cells exposed to u...
