X-ray induced potentially lethal damage and its inhibition by the aromatic amide 3-aminobenzamide have been investigated in Chinese hamster V79 cells. 3-Aminobenzamide (3-AB) is a known inhibitor of polyadenosine diphosphoribose synthetase. With increasing concentrations of 3-AB an increasing inhibition of PLD repair was observed. Little inhibition of PLD repair was seen when 3-AB was added 3 h following irradiation. Utilizing the 6-thioguanine mutation assay, the effect of poly(ADP-R) synthetase inhibition under conditions of PLD repair upon mutation frequency were also studied. A large increase in mutation frequency following 24 h post-irradiation recovery in the presence of 3-AB was seen. These results favour a possible role of 3-AB in preventing repair by facilitating early damage fixation before repair can occur, simultaneously reducing G2-arrest. 相似文献

Recovery from lethal and mutagenic damage during postirradiation holding and low-dose-rate irradiations of cultured hamster cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Survival and mutation to thioguanine resistance were measured in V79-4 hamster cells grown to plateau phase without refeeding and irradiated with 60Co gamma rays. The effects of low-dose-rate irradiation and of postirradiation holding on recovery from gamma-ray damage leading to these two responses were also studied. The responses of these plateau (extended G1)-phase cells to acute irradiation were similar to those we previously found for exponentially growing cells, including the linear relationship between induced mutant frequency and (log) surviving fraction. Irradiation at low dose rate (0.34 rad/min) considerably reduced both the lethal and mutagenic effects of given doses of gamma rays, but the linear mutation-survival relationship was approximately the same as for acute irradiation. In contrast, cells given a 5-hr holding period after acute irradiation showed the anticipated recovery from potentially lethal damage but no recovery from damage leading to mutation. These results are discussed in terms of previously proposed cellular repair processes (sublethal damage repair and potentially lethal damage repair) and the possibility that the radiation damage leading to lethality is different from mutagenic damage. 相似文献

Novobiocin and nalidixic acid, inhibitors of the bacterial enzyme DNA gyrase, inhibit DNA, RNA and protein synthesis in several human and rodent cell lines. The sensitivity of DNA synthesis (both replicative and repair) to inhibition by novobiocin and nalidixic acid is greater than that of protein synthesis. Novobiocin inhibits RNA synthesis about half as effectively as it does DNA synthesis, whereas nalidixic acid inhibits both equally well. Replicative DNA synthesis, as measured by incorporation of [3H]thymidine, is blocked by novobiocin in a number of cell strains; the inhibition is reversible with respect to both DNA synthesis and cell killing, and continues for as long as 20--30 h if the cells are kept in novobiocin-containing growth medium. Both novobiocin and nalidixic acid inhibit repair DNA synthesis (measured by BND-cellulose chromatography) induced by ultraviolet light or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (but not that induced by methyl methanesulfonate) at lower concentration (as low as 5 micrograms/ml) than those required to inhibit replicative DNA synthesis (50 micrograms/ml or greater). Neither novobiocin nor nalidixic acid alone induces DNA repair synthesis. Incubation of ultraviolet-irradiated cells with 10--100 micrograms/ml novobiocin results in little, if any, further reduction of colony-forming ability (beyond that caused by the ultraviolet irradiation). Novobiocin at sufficiently low concentrations (200 micrograms/ml) apparently generates a quiescent state (in terms of cellular DNA metabolism) from which recovery is possible. Under more drastic conditions of time in contact with cells and concentration, however, novobiocin itself induces mammalian cell killing. 相似文献

SP01 development was inhibited by nalidixic acid and novobiocin in the sensitive host Bacillus subtilis 168M. Inhibition by novobiocin was prevented by a Novr mutation in the cellular DNA gyrase gene. Nalidixic acid inhibition persisted in hosts carrying a Nalr gyrase, but could be overcome by phage mutation. We conclude that SP01 requires for its development subunit B of the host DNA gyrase, but replaces or modifies subunit A. 相似文献

MNNG-induced killing of V79 cells has been found to be enhanced on inhibition of topoisomerase II activity by nalidixic acid and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase synthesis by benzamide. Using these 2 inhibitors in conjunction after MNNG treatment, some overlap in the functions of these 2 enzymes was observed. Nalidixic acid and benzamide were found to suppress the yields of mutations and SCEs induced by MNNG. Benzamide was more effective in suppressing the mutation yield whereas nalidixic acid was more effective in suppressing SCEs. A model based on the relative requirement of topoisomerase and poly(ADP-ribose) for the repair of different types of damage has been proposed to explain the results. 相似文献

In this study, some DNA topoisomerase II and gyrase inhibitors have been identified as inhibitors of polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides [novobiocin (NVB), nalidixic acid (NDA), oxolinic acid (OXA)], or inhibitors of replicon initiation and DNA-chain elongation [etoposide (VP-16), teniposide (VM-26), 4'-(9-acridinylamino)methansulfon-m-anisidine (m-AMSA), ellipticine (ELT)]. The inhibitors of deoxyribonucleotide polymerization produced a significant (greater than 85%) suppression of [3H]thymidine incorporation into V79 cells within 20 min of treatment, followed by a rapid recovery of DNA synthesis, and reduced cell killing. In contrast, the inhibitors of replicon initiation and DNA-chain elongation needed about 60 min to induce a partial, but irreversible inhibition of DNA replication, associated with extensive cell killing. 相似文献

The effect of treatment with nalidixic acid, an inhibitor of DNA topoisomerase, after exposure of V79 cells to different DNA-damaging agents on the induction of killing and mutation has been studied. The DNA-damaging agents were ultraviolet light, gamma-rays and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). It was seen that treatment with nalidixic acid potentiated the killing by MNNG and suppressed the induction of mutation. However, it had no influence upon killing and mutation by UV light and gamma-rays. The difference in the observed results could be due to the nature of the damage induced and its repair in relation to the function of topoisomerases. 相似文献

Involvement of topoisomerase II in the repair of damage by N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, UV light and gamma-rays has been studied using quiescent V79 cells. In each case, the presence of nalidixic acid, the inhibitor of topoisomerase II, decreased the survival through suppression of potentially lethal damage repair. There was also an increase in the yield of mutants because of such suppression. The observations were in contrast with those made with exponential cells in the following aspects: (a) density-inhibited cells showed a positive response to suppression of topoisomerase II activity after treatment with UV light and gamma-rays and (b) for MNNG exposure, mutational yield increased instead of decreasing as in exponential cells. The results showed that topoisomerase II played an important part in the repair of damage of density-inhibited cells. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli K-12 mutants which had a new nalidixic acid resistance mutation at about 82 min on the chromosome map, cell growth was resistant to or hypersusceptible to nalidixic acid, oxolinic acid, piromidic acid, pipemidic acid, and novobiocin. Deoxyribonucleic acid gyrase activity as tested by supercoiling of lambda phage deoxyribonucleic acid inside the mutants was similarly resistant or hypersusceptible to the compounds. The drug concentrations required for gyrase inhibition were much higher than those for cell growth inhibition but similar to those for inhibition of lambda phage multiplication. Transduction analysis with lambda phages carrying the chromosomal fragment of the tnaA-gyrB region suggested that one of the mutations, nal-31, was located on the gyrB gene. 相似文献

Because of the critical role of the DNA topoisomerases in the synthesis and conformation of DNA, and the well-known observation that radiation inhibits replicative DNA synthesis, we have examined the possibility that inhibitors of these enzymes might influence radiation lethality. In particular, using protocols involving the administration of either fresh or conditioned medium, we examined the ability of intercalative and nonintercalative inhibitors to affect the expression of potentially lethal damage and/or sublethal damage. The inhibitors examined were amsacrine, teniposide, etoposide, and novobiocin; only the latter compound was clearly effective in a selective way at nontoxic concentrations, and this was observed specifically in reference to the repair of potentially lethal damage effected by incubation in conditioned medium. These results are another example of differences between the repair of sublethal versus potentially lethal damage that further support distinctions between the two. At a mechanistic level, these and other data suggest that the property of novobiocin that is relevant in the foregoing is its metabolic inhibition of replicative DNA synthesis, a process which may be more important in the repair of potentially lethal damage as opposed to sublethal damage. 相似文献

The mutagenic effect of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) was studied in the liver perfusion/cell culture system. Male Wistar rats, fed a selenium-deficient diet with or without selenium supplementation in the drinking water, were used as liver donors. UDMH caused an increased mutation frequency in Chinese hamster V79 cells exposed in the perfusate. The effect was statistically significant with both selenium-deficient and selenium-supplemented livers. With selenium-deficient livers, a significant mutagenic effect was also obtained when V79 cells were treated with bile collected after the administration of UDMH. Bile flow and bile acid excretion were not affected by UDMH treatment of selenium-deficient or selenium-supplemented livers. There was a tendency towards reduced C-oxygenation of N,N-dimethylaniline in microsomes from selenium-deficient livers perfused with UDMH. The lactate/pyruvate ratio in the perfusate was increased by UDMH, the effect being more pronounced with selenium-deficient than selenium-supplemented livers. 相似文献

Novobiocin was equipotent in inhibiting DNA and RNA synthesis in cultured mouse L cells. It also suppressed in vitro DNA and RNA synthesis in permeabilized L cells and nuclei; 50 percent inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis was obtained by 1 mM and 20 mM novobiocin, respectively. ATP antagonized the effect of novobiocin. Nalidixic acid had a weak inhibitory effect on in vitro DNA synthesis; 10 mM nalidixic acid showed 60 percent inhibition. ATP did not antagonize nalidixic acid. The inhibitory effect of novobiocin exceeded that of aphidicolin. These findings suggest a participation of a gyrase- and/or type II topoisomerase-like enzyme in the DNA replication machinery in L cells. 相似文献

Bacteriophage T5 did not grow at the nonpermissive temperature of 42 degrees C in Escherichia coli carrying a temperature-sensitive mutation in gyrB [gyrB(Ts)], but it did grow in gyrA(Ts) mutants at 42 degrees C. These findings indicate that the A subunit of host DNA gyrase is unnecessary, whereas the B subunit is necessary for growth of T5. The necessity for the B subunit was confirmed by a strong inhibition of T5 growth by novobiocin and coumermycin A1, which interfere specifically with the function of the B subunit of host DNA gyrase. However, T5 growth was also strongly inhibited by nalidixic acid, which interferes specifically with the function of the A subunit. This inhibition was due to the interaction of nalidixic acid with the A subunit and not just to its binding to DNA, because appropriate mutations in the gyrA gene of the host conferred nalidixic acid resistance to the host and resistance to T5 growth in such a host. The inhibition by nalidixic acid was also not due to a cell poison formed between nalidixic acid and the A subunit (K. N. Kreuzer and N. R. Cozzarelli, J. Bacteriol. 140:424-435, 1979) because nalidixic acid inhibited growth of T5 in a gyrA(Ts) mutant (KNK453) at 42 degrees C. We suggest that T5 grows in KNK453 at 42 degrees C because its gyrA(Ts) mutation is leaky for T5. Inhibition of T5 growth due to inactivation of host DNA gyrase was caused mainly by inhibition of T5 DNA replication. In addition, however, late T5 genes were barely expressed when host DNA gyrase was inactivated. 相似文献

The influence of two DNA gyrase inhibitors, nalidixic acid andnovobiocin, on DNA synthesis in isolated pea chloroplasts wasexamined. Novobiocin at 15 mol m3 markedly lowered[3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA (3095% inhibition);while less effective, nalidixic acid at similar concentrationsalso diminished incorporation (2535% inhibition). Theinhibition of chloroplast DNA (ctDNA) biosynthesis by nalidixicacid and novobiocin was confirmed by autoradiography and densitometry.These data are consistent with the view that chloroplasts containa DNA gyrase-like enzyme which is necessary for DNA replication.Despite this, interpretation of the results is not straightforward,as both nalidixic acid and novobiocin also inhibited photosyntheticactivity. Each substance (at millimolar levels) reduced ferricyanide-dependentO2 evolution in isolated chloroplasts. However, at lower concentrations(0.050.3 mol m3) they slightly enhanced photosyntheticelectron flow; thus, these compounds may act as uncouplers ofphotophosphorylation as well as inhibitors of electron transport.Nalidixic acid and novobiocin at relatively low (0.1 mol m3)concentrations also strongly reduced CO2-dependent O2 evolution(an index of CO2 photo-assimilation) in isolated plastids. Thus,caution must be exercised in assessing results from studiesin which nalidixic acid and novobiocin are used with whole plants,cells, protoplasts or isolated chloroplasts.

In Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, an S431P substitution in the B subunit of gyrase (allele gyrB651) confers resistance to nalidixic acid and causes reduced DNA superhelicity and hypersensitivity to novobiocin. Selection for novobiocin resistance allowed isolation of a mutation in the gyrA gene (allele gyrA659), a T467S substitution, which partially suppresses the supercoiling defect of gyrB651. Modeling analysis suggests that this mutation acts by destabilizing the GyrA bottom dimer interface. This is the first example of a gyrA mutation that compensates for a gyrB defect. 相似文献

Nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is the substrate used by cells in poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis. X-irradiation of log-phase Chinese hamster cells caused a rapid decrease in NAD+ levels which was linearly dependent on radiation dose. The activity of ADP-ribosyl transferase ( ADPRT ) also increased linearly with radiation dose. The decrease of NAD+ was slower, and the increase in ADPRT activity was less pronounced, in a radiation sensitive line, V79- AL162 /S-10. An inhibitor of ADPRT , m-aminobenzamide, largely prevented the depletion of cellular NAD+ and reduced the rate at which ADPRT activity disappeared during post-irradiation incubation. Post-irradiation treatment with hypertonic buffer or with medium containing D2O--which inhibit repair of radiation-induced potentially lethal damage--enhanced the depletion of NAD+ and prevented the reduction in ADPRT activity following irradiation. The characteristics of the effects of treatment with hypertonic buffer on NAD+ metabolism were qualitatively similar to the effects that such treatment has on radiation-induced cell killing. These results suggest that poly(ADP-ribose) synthesis after irradiation plays a role in the repair of potentially lethal damage. 相似文献

The effect of novobiocin on the frequencies of chromatid-type aberrations and SCEs was examined in Chinese hamster V79 cells which were exposed to gamma-rays and post-treated with novobiocin. While no chromatid aberrations were induced in the unirradiated cells by novobiocin, the frequency of SCEs was slightly increased by treatment with novobiocin alone. Irradiation of G2 cells produced multiple chromatid-type aberrations and post-treatment of the irradiated cells with novobiocin resulted in a significant increase of the aberrations, including chromatid gaps and breaks. In contrast, novobiocin failed to increase the frequency of SCEs induced by gamma-rays when the irradiated cells were post-treated with novobiocin. 相似文献

We report here that in Escherichia coli, the anti-bacterial agent nalidixic acid induces transient stabilization and increased synthesis of σ32, accompanied by the induction of heat shock proteins (Dnak and GroEL proteins). The induction of heat shock proteins, increased synthesis of σ32, and stabilization of σ32 observed on treatment of wild-type cells with nalidixic acid were not observed in a nalA26 mutant, a strain that is resistant to nalidixic acid as the result of a mutation in the gyrA gene. Not only oxolinic acid, but also novobiocin, whose targets are the A and B subunits of DNA gyrase, respectively, also induced stabilization and increased synthesis of σ32. Thus, inhibition of the activity of DNA gyrase may cause stabilization and increased synthesis of σ32, resulting in turn in induction of heat shock proteins. 相似文献

Effect of the bacterial DNA gyrase inhibitors, novobiocin, nalidixic acid, and oxolinic acid, on oxidative phosphorylation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
When incubated with isolated intact rat liver mitochondria, novobiocin and nalidixic acid act as uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation; they stimulate oxygen uptake and inhibit ATP synthesis. Novobiocin is about as powerful an uncoupler as is 2,4-dinitrophenol, nalidixic acid is somewhat less powerful, and oxolinic acid exerts no inhibition whatsoever at the concentrations used. The three inhibitors are without effect on oxidative phosphorylation in Escherichia coli nor does novobiocin affect this process in a novobiocin-permeable mutant of yeast. While it would appear that oxolinic acid may be a relatively specific tool for the manipulation of the superhelicity of DNA in complex systems such as mammalian mitochondria and intact mammalian cells, the specificity of each of these inhibitors may depend upon the particular conditions and species used and such experiments require adequate controls on oxidative phosphorylation. 相似文献

Attempted base excision repair of ionizing radiation damage in human lymphoblastoid cells produces lethal and mutagenic double strand breaks 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A significant proportion of cellular DNA damages induced by ionizing radiation are produced in clusters, also called multiply damaged sites. It has been demonstrated by in vitro studies and in bacteria that clustered damage sites can be converted to lethal double strand breaks by oxidative DNA glycosylases during attempted base excision repair. To determine whether DNA glycosylases could produce double strand breaks at radiation-induced clustered damages in human cells, stably transformed human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells that inducibly overexpress the oxidative DNA glycosylases/AP lyases, hNTH1 and hOGG1, were assessed for their radiation responses, including survival, mutation induction and the enzymatic production of double strand breaks post-irradiation. We found that additional double strand breaks were generated during post-irradiation incubation in uninduced TK6 control cells. Moreover, overproduction of either DNA glycosylase resulted in significantly increased double strand break formation, which correlated with an elevated sensitivity to the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of ionizing radiation. These data show that attempted repair of radiation damage, presumably at clustered damage sites, by the oxidative DNA glycosylases can lead to the formation of potentially lethal and mutagenic double strand breaks in human cells. 相似文献
