Summary Mutation to prototrophy in E. coli WP2 Hcr- induced by far-UV radiation (F-UV) in an intermediate dose range follows dose-squared kinetics. In a comparable dose-range with near-UV radiation in the presence of acetophenone (N-UV+Acph) mutation induction follows kinetics which are linearly related to dose. The difference in response to the two types of irradiation is a more general one in that it is the same for true revertants, for suppressor mutants, and for several markers.Double-irradiation experiments together with treatment by photoreactivating light (PR) after the first irradiation (i.e. F-UVPRF-UV; N-UV+AcphPRN-UV+Acph; N-UV+AcphF-UV; N-UV+AcphPRF-UV) seem to indicate the following: a) the dose-squared kinetics for F-UV are due to the necessary co-operation of at least two types of pre-mutational lesions, only one of which is photoreversible; b) N-UV+Acph also produces these photoreversible lesions in addition to such photoreversible ones which do not require the co-operation of other types; the production of the former is not indicated by the appearance of visible mutants because the non-photoreversible type, whose co-operation is required to give rise to such mutants, is not produced. 相似文献

UV-irradiation (lambda = 254 nm) of liquid aqueous solutions of deoxyguanosine in the presence of oxygen at pH less than 7 causes an intensive degradation of nucleoside. The quantum yield estimated from A254 decrease for the reaction mixture was found to be 1.5X10(-4) at doses to 150 E/mole. The rate of A254 decrease was found to grow with increasing doses. The structures of the products isolated from the reaction mixture after irradiation suggest that one of the ways of deoxyguanosine degradation is a breakdown of a purine cycle without splitting of N-glycoside bond. Simultaneously another type of photoinduced modification of guanine nucleus takes place, which is followed by appearance of free 2-deoxyribose. Deoxyguanosine degradation in both directions is kinetically one-step process proceeding with comparable quantum yields of approximately 1X10(-4). 相似文献

Mutagenesis in extracellular phage sd by 8-metoxypsoralen (8-MOP) and longwave (lambda greater than 310 nm) UV-irradiation has been established. The kinetics of lethal and mutagenic effects of 8-MOP+light was studied. The efficiency of mutagenesis on the first linear part of mutation curve was 0.3% per the lethal hit which is 2 times lower than that of shortwave (lambda=254 nm) UV-irradiation. The maximum yield of mutants makes up 1%, after which the mutation curve is maintained. It has been established that the main (may be the only) contribution into mutagenesis is made by monoadducts, whereas the lethal effect is conditioned by diadducts (cross-links). The comparison of the efficiency of mutagenic effects of 8-MOP+light with mutagenic effects of other kinds of irradiations was carried out. The possibility of repair of damaged 8-MOP+light phage sd DNA by transfection of Escherichia coli C (uvr+) and Cs (uvr-) lysozyme spheroplasts has been established. The repair mechanism of photodamage in intact phage sd induced with 8-MOP+light was also investigated using the method of two-step irradiation. It has been shown that 65% of photodamages are repaired in E. coli SK cells in the M9 medium, i. e. under cellular metabolism. The recovery of phage sd is completely inhibited in phosphate buffer. Unlike chloramphenicol (150 microgram/ml), 1% caffeine blocks the phage recovery only by 30%. The participation of phage sd determining enzymes in its intracellular recovery from 8-MOP+light damages is assumed. 相似文献

UV-irradiation (254 nm) of donor blood and the blood of newborn with hemolytic disease, using the device for UV-irradiation utilized in Soviet hospitals for autotransfusion of UV-irradiated blood, produces a 1.1-2.0-fold increase in the binding capacity of serum albumin. The effect is the greater, the lower the initial level of serum albumin binding capacity. 相似文献

The accumulation of UV photolysis products of amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan, which possess an antioxidant activity, has been studied by the method of luminol-activated chemiluminescence. The amount of antioxidant products was judged by the value of the total antioxidant potential of a UV-irradiated solution, the measure of which was the distance between the peaks of the chemiluminescence curve in the system 2,2'-azo-bis(2-amidinopropane)hydrochloride + luminol in a UV-irradiated and an unirradiated samples (induction period, tau(i)). Simultaneously, the absorption and fluorescence spectra of unirradiared and UV-irradiated amino acid solutions were recorded. It was shown that, upon the exposure of a tryptophan solution to radiation, the accumulation of the fluorescent product N-formyl kynurenine (lambda(em) = 325 nm, lambda(max) = 440 nm) occures, and the curve of its accumulation was similar to the curve of growth of tau(i) photoproducts produced during UV-radiation. When a tyrosine solution was irradiated, the main fluorescent product was dityrosine (lambda(em) = 310 nm, lambda(max) = 415 nm). Nevertheless, the dose dependencies of the formation of dityrosine, and the total antioxidant potential (tau(i)) were completely different. It was found that another product of tyrosine UV-photolysis, dioxyphenylalanine, possessed a pronounced antioxidant activity. It was concluded that the main antioxidants produced under UV-irradiation of tryptophan is formyl kynurenine, and under the irradiation of tyrosine, dioxyphenylalanine. 相似文献

This paper describes the results of treating plasmid DNA in vitro with mutagens, to obtain mutations both in plasmid genes and chromosomal genes comprised within the plasmid, thus avoiding disorganization characteristic of in vivo mutagenesis. The model system is represented by DNA of RSF2124 responsible for colicine E1 synthesis and resistance to ampicillin. Col- mutants were looked for after exposure to UV- and gamma-irradiation. The lethal effect was estimated as inactivation of the ampicillin resistance marker. After reisolation from mutant transformant of the plasmid DNA, the novel character and resistance to ampicillin proved to retain in the course of subsequent transformations and passages of transformed colonies, suggesting the mutational nature of the changes. Exposure of RSF2124 to short-wave UV-irradiation (lambda = 254 nm) produced a pronounced mutagenic effect: the relative quantity of Col- mutants under optimal conditions of mutagenesis increased about 10 times. In the case of W-reactivation (additional UV-irradiation of C600 wild type cells) of lethal lesions, a 95% reliable increase in mutagenic effect was observed. Significant enhancement of mutagenesis (about 4-fold) was detected when only recipient cells were exposed to low doses of UV (the so-called indirect UV mutagenesis). Thus, with regard to W- and indirect UV mutagenesis, the plasmid DNA behaves like DNA of temperate phages which suggests their evolutionary relationship. Treatment of plasmid DNA with acridine orange prior to UV, only protected from lethal lesions. Gamma-irradiation (60Co) at the dose producing 100-fold inactivation, increased the yield of Col- mutants by one order of magnitude. The presence of RSF2124 plasmid in a cell does not affect its UV sensitivity. 相似文献

Extensive photodimerization of non-adjacent pyrimidines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In a prior study we found that non-adjacent thymidyl residues in the single-stranded alternating copolymer poly[d(G-T)] are subject to photodimerization by germicidal lamp irradiation (lambda max 254 nm). The maximum yield of this photoproduct was 1% of the total thymine of poly[d(G-T)]. We now report that dimer formation in this polymer is increased to 10 to 40% thymine as dimer between non-adjacent pyrimidines, using near-ultraviolet irradiation (lambda max 310 nm) with or without acetone triplet-sensitization. As previously observed for 254 nm irradiation, dimer formation was nearly absent in double-stranded poly[d(G-T).d(C-A)]. These observations extend prior findings by demonstrating high-yield dimerization between non-adjacent pyrimidines via direct irradiation at environmentally relevant wavelengths (greater than or equal to 280 nm), and are potentially relevant to the mechanism of the ultraviolet light-induced targeted -1 frameshift mutation. 相似文献

UV-irradiation (254 nm, 10 or 20 J/cm2) of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and p-aminosalicylic acid (NaPAS) potentiated their antimutagenicity towards N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis in Salmonella typhimurium. Their inhibitory action towards the formation of the mutagen N-methyl-N-nitrosourea from the nitrosation mixture of N-methylurea and nitrite was also increased by UV-irradiation. In contrast, UV-irradiated PABA exhibited no inhibitory effects towards the mutagenicity of sodium azide or 3-azidoglycerol. Neither PABA nor NaPAS nor their UV-irradiation products were themselves mutagenic in the Ames assay. 相似文献

The photochemistry of human hemoglobin (Hb) in the blood and blood serum (lambda = 254-578 nm) was studied, using spectrophotometric methods. The Hb photochemistry is a complex set of photoreactions leading to successive photoconversions of Hb forms: from oxy- to met- to deoxy- and, finally, to carboxy-form. The photodestruction of Hb and the photoreactions involving other serum proteins were found to occur simultaneously. In the blood Hb photomodifications are localized directly in erythrocytes. The conditions necessary for the photo--induced rupture of erythrocyte membranes and the subsequent release of Hb into the blood plasma, were determined. Although the general characteristics of Hb photochemistry are the same for model systems and for native conditions, there are some distinctions in the effectiveness of the photoconversion. It seems likely that the observed effects are due to the antioxidant properties of the serum. These properties may be the cause of the inhibition of blood photohemolysis upon irradiation (lambda greater than or equal to 300 nm). 相似文献

To proceed the works on induced mutagenesis in plasmids, mutagenic effects of chemicals on the DNA of RSF2124 plasmid mediating colicine E1 biosynthesis and resistance to ampicillin, were studied. After exposure to mutagens, plasmid DNA was used to transform Escherichia coli C600 rk-mk-cells. The lethal effect was estimated from inactivation of the ampicillin marker, the mutagenic effect being measured by the appearance of mutants unable to synthesize colicine (Col-). The reaction of the plasmid DNA with a mutagen was stopped by 10-fold dilutions of aliquots in TEN buffer, followed by dialysis in 10 mH CaCl2 for 24 h. To select the most efficient mutagens for plasmid DNA, the compounds were predominantly tested which are known to be effective in other systems (transforming and transfecting DNA, microbial viruses). An a result, all chemicals tested by their activity were classified into 4 groups: inducing more than 100 fold increase (hydroxylamine, O-methylhydroxylamine); inducing 10 fold increase (UV-irradiation, lambda = 254 nm; W-mutagenesis, gamma-irradiation, nitrous acid, mitomycin C); inducing less than 10fold increase (indirect UV-mutagenesis, nitrous acid, beta-chloroethyldiethylamine hydrochloride, nitrosoguanidine); no mutagenic effect (acridine orange, ethyl methane sulfonate, sodium azide, O-beta-diethylhydroxylamine). 相似文献

DNA cleavage potency of propargylic sulfones possessing anthraquinone chromophore 1 under UV-irradiation was evaluated in comparison with the dark reaction. 1 showed inefficient DNA cleavage activity, while having considerably strong DNA binding ability. This result is accounted for by spatial conditions that the activated alkylating allenic site of intercalated 1 could not effectively approach to DNA bases, most probably guanine moiety, and thereby led to insufficient DNA strand cleavage. In contrast, the DNA cleavage activity of 1 was notably enhanced upon UV-irradiation (lambda(ex)=365 nm) followed by incubation. Under UV-irradiation, further DNA cleavage were occurred primary at 5'-G of GG steps within DNA. A DNA cleavage mechanism for 1, by which photo-induced one-electron oxidation of 5'-G of GG steps may occur along with ordinary alkylation, has been proposed. 相似文献

The conditions for UV irradiation (lambda = 254 nm) of ribonucleoprotein preparations containing informosomes were elaborated which provide for complete fixation of informosomal proteins on RNA. The degree of fixation was controlled by centrifugation in a CsCl density gradient. It was found that complete fixation of informosomes from loach embryos was achieved by irradiation with greater than or equal to 250 quanta per nucleotide. Fixation of informosomes isolated from Krebs ascite carcinoma II was observed during irradiation with higher (720 quanta per nucleotide) doses. It was shown that the irradiation doses used do not cause the destruction of ribonucleoprotein particles of RNA degradation. No fixation of ribosomal particles was observed during irradiation with the above doses. The method described can be used for the isolation of informosomes with the use of density gradients for the analysis of polypeptide composition of these particles. 相似文献

Rat kangaroo(Potorous tridactylus) cells efficiently repair 254 nm ultraviolet light (UV) induced cyclobutane pyrlmidine dimers (CPDs) through photoreactivation, leading to an enhancement of survival when cells are exposed to photoreactivation light (PRL) immediately after UV-irradiation. This work presents evidence that at least part of the UV-irradiated cells die through apoptosis, as demonstrated by DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation. The induction of this kind of cell death can be reversed through photoreactivation immediately after irradiation, indicating that CPDs are essential signals for the initiation of apoptosis by UV-irradiation. Exposure to PRL 24 h after UV-irradiation does not reverse the induction of apoptosis, implying that the cells are committed to die at this time after irradiation. Inhibition of DNA synthesis during this period of time following UV-irradiation, and before exposure to PRL, does not avoid apoptosis. Since similar results were obtained in Go confluent and G1/S synchronized cells, the signals for the UV-induced apoptosis do not seem to be related to a specific phase of cell cycle. Nevertheless, by adding 3-aminobenzamide (3AB—an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase) in the cell medium after UV-irradiation, apoptosis endpoints were partially reversed if cells are exposed to PRL 24 h later. This result strongly indicates that poly(ADP-ribose) is an intermediary signal for UV-induced apoptosis in mammalian cells. 相似文献

The rate of structural chromosome mutations at metaphase of the first mitosis was determined in culture of embrionic mouse fibroblasts after UV-irradiation during the S-period (lambda = 265 nm at an incident dose of 40 erg/mm2). It is established that the mutation rate is higher at late metaphase than at early metaphase. After the cell treatment with intercalating compounds (actinomycin D, acridine orange or ethidium bromide) at metaphase, the rate of UV-induced chromosome aberrations was decreased (about 2-fold). It is concluded from the results obtained that the majority of aberrations arise during metaphase after UV-irradiation in the process of DNA synthesis. After the cell treatment with o-methylhydroxylamine (OMHA) during the S-period the rate of structural mutations was the same at late and early metaphases. This rate was not affected by the caffeine treatment at metaphase; during this stage the acentric chromosome fragments lie outside the equatorial plate, which is an indication that the OMHA-induced aberrations, in contrast to the UV-induced aberrations, are formed before the beginning of metaphase, possibly during the interphase. It is suggested that the chromosome condensation during metaphase is of importance in the formation of structural mutations. 相似文献

UV-irradiation (254 nm) was found to induce a smaller increase of SCE in human lymphocytes than in human fibroblasts and CHO cells. The UV-induced SCE frequency in human lymphocytes was not influenced by the duration between irradiation and the subsequent S-phase. UV-irradiated lymphocytes showed a slightly more than additive response to the SCE-inducing effect of HN2 and acetaldehyde in comparison with non-irradiated cells. The UV-induced SCE frequency was similar in lymphocyte cultures containing 20 and 100 microM of BrdUrd. The results suggest that human lymphocytes are relatively insensitive to the SCE-inducing effect of UV-irradiation, and that SCE-inducing damage caused by UV is not removed during the G1 phase in these cells. 相似文献

The action of ultraviolet radiation with lambda = 254 nm (UVC), zinc and lipopolysaccharide on the apoptosis of human neutrophils was investigated by flow cytometry. It was shown that zinc (0.2-1 mM) inhibits the UVC-dependent acceleration of neutrophil apoptosis. Preliminary treatment with UVC cancels the inhibition of neutrophil apoptosis by lipopolysaccharide. 相似文献

A thymine-modified derivative of histone H3 formed as a result of thermal treatment of UV-irradiated (lambda = 254 nm) solution of deoxyribonucleoprotein from calf thymus at low ionic strength was isolated. The peptides obtained by tryptic hydrolysis of modified histone H3 were separated by high pressure liquid chromatography. The amino acid sequence of the peptide containing a lysine residue with covalently linked thymine was determined by the Edman method. It was found that Lys localized at the N-terminus of the histone H3 molecule interacts with DNA within the composition of the deoxyribonucleoprotein. 相似文献

A comparison has been made of sensitivity to far (254 nm), middle (300--315 nm) and near (315--400 nm) UV radiation of 12 strains of E. coli and 2 strains of B. subtilis differing in DNA dark repair (DR) capability. The mechanisms controlled by uvrA, uvrB, polA, recA, lon, and lexA genes are very effective in cells, irradiated by far and middle UV, but by 15--70% less effective in those irradiated by near UV. As the unirradiated bacteria poorly repair the near UV damaged phages (T7, lambda, SPPI), the low bacterial DR level after UV irradiation seems to be due to the unrepairable photoproduct formation in DNA. 相似文献

Fluorescent Nitric Oxide Cheletropic Traps (FNOCTs) were applied to specifically trap nitric oxide (NO) with high sensitivity. The fluorescent o-quinoid pi-electron system of the FNOCTs (lambda(exc) = 460 nm, lambda(em) = 600 nm) reacts rapidly with NO to a fluorescent phenanthrene system (lambda(exc) = 380 nm, lambda(em) = 460 nm). The cyclic nitroxides thus formed react further to non-radical products which exhibit identical fluorescence properties. Using the acid form of the trap (FNOCT-4), NO release by spermine NONOate and by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated alveolar macrophages were studied. A maximum extracellular release of NO of 37.5 nmol h(-1) (10(6) cells)(-1) from the macrophages was determined at 11 h after activation. Furthermore, intracellular NO release by LPS-activated macrophages and by microvascular omentum endothelial cells stimulated by the Ca2+ ionophore A-23187, respectively, was monitored on the single cell level by means of fluorescence microscopy. After loading the cells with the membrane-permeating acetoxymethylester derivative FNOCT-5, which is hydrolyzed to a non-permeating dicarboxylate by intracellular hydrolases, NO formation by the endothelial cells started immediately upon stimulation, whereas start of NO production by the macrophages was delayed with a variation between 4 and 8 h for individual cells. These results demonstrate that the FNOCTs can be used to monitor NO release from single cells, as well as from NO-donating compounds, with high sensitivity and with temporal and spatial resolution. 相似文献

Determination of malondialdehyde by ion-pairing high-performance liquid chromatography 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
A method for the analysis of malondialdehyde (MDA) by ion-pairing HPLC is described. The method is direct, no derivitization is required, and sample preparation is minimal. After removal of particulates, the samples are injected directly onto an octadecylsilane column which is eluted with 14% (v/v) acetonitrile in 50 mM myristyltrimethylammonium bromide. 1 mM phosphate, pH 6.8. Detection is accomplished by monitoring absorbance at 254 nm or for greater sensitivity at 267 nm. The lower limit for reliable quantitation is 5 pmol MDA and the dynamic range extends to at least 4 nmol MDA. The method has been applied to the quantitation of MDA production during microsomal lipid peroxidation and to an assessment of the stability of MDA in microsomal and urine samples. 相似文献
