Accumulation of O6-methylguanine in non-target-tissue deoxyribonucleic acid during chronic administration of dimethylnitrosamine. 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3 下载免费PDF全文
1. BD-IV rats were given labelled dimethylnitrosamine (2 mg/kg) by stomach tube on weekdays (Monday to Friday) for up to 24 weeks. The rats killed after 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 weeks of treatment (72 h after the final dimethylnitrosamine gavage) and DNA was isolated from the pooled livers, kidneys and lungs. Purine bases were released from the DNA by mild acid hydrolysis and separated by Sephadex G-10 chromatography. 2. Throughout the experiment, the content of 7-methylguanine in liver DNA was approx. 16 times that in kidney and lung. The amount of this product increased in the DNA of all three tissues up to 16 weeks, but by 24 weeks had decreased by 20% in the liver and 46% in the other tissues. 3. O6-Methylguanine was not detected in liver DNA, but was easily measured in kidney and lung DNA after 4 weeks of dimethylnitrosamine administration. The amount of O6-methylguanine in kidney and lung DNA increased relative to that of 7-methylguanine, and by 24 weeks was 60% of the 7-methylguanine content in both tissues. 4. Incorporation of radioactive C1 breakdown products of dimethylnitrosamine into normal purines in DNA increased continuously in all three tissues. 5. The results are discussed with respect to the specific hepatocarcinogenic effect of chronic administration of dimethylnitrosamine and the possible contribution of increased DNA repair and DNA synthesis. 相似文献

Persistence of methylated bases in ribonucleic acid of syrian golden hamster liver after administration of dimethylnitrosamine. 下载免费PDF全文
1. Syrian golden hamster liver ribosomal RNA was isolated up to 96 h after administration of [14C]dimethylnitrosamine at 25 mg/kg or 2.5 mg/kg body weight. 2. The chemical alkyation products, 7-methylguanine, 3-methylcytosine, O6-methylguanosine and 1-methyladenosine, were measured after acidic or enzymic hydrolysis of the RNA to bases or mononucleosides followed by ion-exchange chromatography. 3. Between 7 and 96 h, the relative amounts of alkylation products did not change with time even though the absolute amounts fell by approx. 80% and 51% after the high and low doses respectively. 4. The results suggest that base specific excision repair does not exist for RNA alkylation products in this experimental system. 相似文献

Methylated purines in the deoxyribonucleic acid of various Syrian-golden-hamster tissues after administration of a hepatocarcinogenic dose of dimethylnitrosamine. 总被引:9,自引:4,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文
1. DNA was extracted from livers, kidneys and lungs of Syrian golden hamsters at various times (up to 96h) after injection of a hepatocarcinogenic dose of [14C]dimethylnitrosamine. Purine bases were released from the DNA by mild acid hydrolysis and separated by Sephadex G-10 chromatography. 2. At 7h after dimethylnitrosamine administration liver DNA was alkylated to the greatest extent, followed by that of lung and kidney, the values for which were 8 and 3% respectively of those for liver. 3. The O6-methylguanine/7-methylguanine ratios were initially the same in all three organs and in the liver DNA of rats under similar conditions of dose. 4. O6-Methylguanine was the most persistent alkylated purine in all three hamster tissues. There was evidence for excision of 7-methyl-guanine, the highest activity for this being present in the liver. 5. Detectable amounts of the minor products 3-methyladenine, 1-methyladenine, 3-methylguanine and 7-methyladenine were present in most hamster tissues, and their individual rates of loss from liver DNA were determined. 6. Ring-labelling of the normal purines in DNA was highest in the liver, followed closely by the lung (80% of that in liver) whereas the kidney had very low incorporation (3% of that in liver). 7. The results are discussed with respect to the hepatotoxicity of dimethylnitrosamine, the miscoding potential of the various alkylation products and the induction of liver tumours in hamsters. 相似文献

Analysis of bacteriophage deoxyribonucleic acid sequences methylated by host- and R-factor-controlled enzymes. 总被引:15,自引:4,他引:11 下载免费PDF全文
Phages lambda and fd were propagated in Escherichia coli strains that have either host K-12 or the N-3 R-factor deoxyribonucleic acid-cytosine methylase activity. Pyrimidine tracts containing 3H-labeled 5-methylcytosine (MeC) were analyzed; in all cases, the major methylated sequence was 5' ... C-MeC-T ... 3'. 相似文献

Phosphotriesters in rat liver deoxyribonucleic acid after the administration of the carcinogen NN-dimethylnitrosamine in vivo. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
After treatment with NN-di[14C]methylnitrosamine, samples of DNA were isolated from rat livers by a conventional phenol procedure and examined for the presence of phosphotriesters. A method of capable of detecting relatively small amounts of 14C-labelled phosphotriesters was developed and used to establish that these products account for 10-12% of the total methylation pattern found after treatment with this agent in vitro. The significance of the presence of phosphotriesters in DNA is discussed. 相似文献

Chromatography of transforming deoxyribonucleic acid on methylated albumin and by gel filtration 下载免费PDF全文
1. Native DNA from two strains of Bacillus subtilis was chromatographed by stepwise elution from MAK (methylated albumin on kieselguhr). 2. Transforming activity was confined to two out of the three main fractions, activity being distributed between the two peaks differently for DNA from the different strains. 3. Fractionation of DNA from both strains on 2% agarose gel gave two components. Approx. 75% of the material was eluted within the void volume of the column. Approx. 25% of the material consisted of degradation products of lower molecular weight. 4. Chromatography on MAK of the material of high molecular weight eluted from agarose gel gave a number of peaks differing in molecular weight, indicating that degradation of the DNA takes place during chromatography on MAK. 5. The distribution of transforming activity among the fractions from MAK suggests that degradation occurs preferentially in certain regions of the DNA. 相似文献

Reaction of carcinogen dimethylnitrosamine with proteins and with thiol compounds in the intact animal 下载免费PDF全文
Valda M. Craddock 《The Biochemical journal》1965,94(2):323-330
1. [14C]Dimethylnitrosamine was administered to rats, and the formation of free and protein-bound S-methylcysteine was investigated. 2. Very little S-methylcysteine was found in liver acid-soluble fraction, in liver protein or in urine. 3. The methylhistidines formed in liver protein were found to have largely disappeared by 6 days after injection of dimethylnitrosamine. 4. The significance of these results in the carcinogenic action of dimethylnitrosamine is discussed. 相似文献

Specificity of deoxyribonucleic acid transmethylase induced by bacteriophage T2. I. Nucleotide sequences isolated from tmicrococcus luteus DNA methylated in vitro. 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3 下载免费PDF全文
(Deoxyribonucleic acid from Micrococcus luteus was methylated in vitro in the presence of S-adenosyl-(14C methyl)methionine with a DNA methyltransferase purified from extracts of te. coli infected with bacteriophage T2. The labelled DNA was degraded by enzymatic and specific chemical methods and the resulting short oligonucleotides were separated and characterized. tthe analytical data permit the conclusion that the tdna transmethylase reacts specifically with N-G-A-T-C-N sequences in which it converts adenine to a 6-methyl-aminopurine residue. 相似文献

Fluorescence-detected circular dichroism (FDCD) spectra are reported for ethidium in Escherichia coli cells and bound to E. coli DNA in vitro. FDCD bands are observed at 325 and 385 nm. These bands change amplitude as the ethidium to DNA ratio changes. Spectra are similar for in vivo and in vitro measurements. However, the bands at 325 and 385 nm disappear when ethidium binds to macromolecules without intercalating between base pairs. The results demonstrate that FDCD spectra can be measured in cell suspensions and indicate that ethidium binds to nucleic acids in E. coli cells by intercalation. 相似文献
