Fibroblast cells derived from 6 Ataxia lines were compared with normal cells in their ability to rejoin single-strand DNA breaks caused by ionizing radiation. In a newly developed enzymatic assay, the Ataxia cells show extensive ligation of the breaks within 90 min of repair incubation. 相似文献

Double-strand break repair and G2 block in Chinese hamster ovary cells and their radiosensitive mutants 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Two X-ray-sensitive mutants of the CHO K1 cell line were examined for their cell-cycle progression after irradiation with gamma-rays, and for their ability to rejoin double-strand breaks (DSBs) as detected by neutral filter elution. Both mutants were impaired in DSB rejoining and both were irreversibly blocked in the G2 phase of the cell cycle as determined by cytofluorometry. From one mutant we have isolated several revertants. The revertants stem from genomic DNA transfection experiments and may have been caused by gene uptake. All revertants survived gamma-irradiation as did the wild-type CHO line. One of them has been examined for its ability to rejoin DSBs and was found to be similar to the wild type. 相似文献

We have tested the ability of T4 DNA ligase to rejoin radiation-induced DNA strand breaks in living hamster cells (CHO-K1, EM9, xrs-5). T4 DNA ligase was introduced into cells by electroporation prior to x-irradiation. Single- and double-strand breaks were measured by the alkaline comet assay technique, and double-strand breaks (DSBs) were evaluated by the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis method. In the comet assay, the three cell lines showed reduced tail moments following pretreatment with T4 DNA ligase, both directly after irradiation and after repair incubation for 4 h. Similarly, the results obtained from pulsed-field gel electrophoresis showed reduced DSB frequencies after pretreatment with T4 DNA ligase. We conclude that exogeneous T4 ligase contributes to rejoining of radiation-induced strand breaks. 相似文献

The DNA ligase III zinc finger stimulates binding to DNA secondary structure and promotes end joining 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
The ability to rejoin broken chromosomes is fundamental to the maintenance of genetic integrity. Mammalian cells possess at least five DNA ligases, including three isoforms of DNA ligase III (Lig-3). Lig-3 proteins differ from other DNA ligases in the presence of an N-terminal zinc finger (Zn-f) motif that exhibits extensive homology with two zinc fingers in poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Here we report that the Zn-f confers upon Lig-3 the ability to bind DNA duplexes harbouring a variety of DNA secondary structures, including single-strand gaps and single-strand flaps. Moreover, the Zn-f stimulates intermolecular end joining of duplexes that harbour these structures up to 16-fold. The Zn-f also stimulates end joining between duplexes lacking secondary structure, but to a lesser extent (up to 4-fold). We conclude that the Zn-f may enable Lig-3 to rejoin chromosomal DNA strand breaks located at sites of clustered damage induced by ionising radiation or near to secondary structure intermediates of DNA metabolism. 相似文献

The ability to repair damage to DNA was compared in 2 groups of patients having undergone treatment for leukemia, one of which developed secondary leukemia (SL), and the other without signs of secondary malignancy (treated controls). Both were related to normal controls. DNA repair was assessed in isolated peripheral lymphocytes from the patients by measuring the rejoining of strand breaks following alkylation damage to the lymphocytes or by measuring unscheduled DNA synthesis. Day-to-day variability in the assays was considerable, but findings were that 5 out of 7 SL patients had repair deficiencies as measured by their ability to rejoin strand breaks, and 5 out of 7 had increased unscheduled DNA synthesis compared to treated and normal controls. All patients with SL and 4 out of 8 treated controls had inherent strand breaks in their DNA as compared to the normal controls when measured by alkaline elution. 相似文献

Exposure of light-grown and dark-grown Euglena cells to gamma radiation causes single strand breaks in nuclear DNA as assessed by sedimentation analysis in alkaline sucrose density gradients. The number of radiation-induced single strand breaks in nuclear DNA of light-grown cells is found to be less than that in dark-grown cells. Post-irradiation incubation of both types of cells in 0 . 1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7 . 0 at 25 degrees C for 1 hour results in restitution of the strand breaks in DNA. Light-grown cells (cells with chloroplasts) are able to rejoin all the single strand breaks in DNA produced by gamma irradiation at D50 and D5 doses. On the other hand, dark-grown cells (cells devoid of chloroplasts) are unable to rejoin all the strand breaks caused by irradiation at either of the doses. The rate of DNA repair in dark-grown cells is also much slower than that in light-grown cells. Radiation-induced single strand breaks in DNA and their repair in nuclei from both types of cells is found to be similar to that observed in the spheroplasts. It is suggested that some factor(s) elaborated by chloroplasts may contribute towards the efficiency of nuclear DNA repair in Euglena cells. 相似文献

Vector-mediated DNA double-strand break repair analysis in normal, and radiation-sensitive, Chinese hamster V79 cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
DNA double-strand break repair was assessed in 2 new radiation-sensitive V79 hamster cell lines (irs1 and irs2) by their ability to rejoin restriction endonuclease cuts in a transferred selectable SV40--E. coli gpt recombinant gene. The studied gene was carried in the vector pPMH16 which also contained a second selectable HSVtk-neo recombinant gene which acted as a control for DNA transformation. The parental V79 cells showed correct rejoining of KpnI and EcoRV double-strand breaks in approximately 18% and 36% of transformants respectively (correcting for the expression of undamaged gpt in neo+ transformants). irs1 shows a significantly reduced (approximately 3-fold) ability to rejoin correctly such double-strand scissions. However, irs2 rejoined such lesions as correctly as the V79 cells. The data are discussed in the context of the assay and the possible repair deficiencies of these radiosensitive mutant cells. 相似文献

X-ray sensitive mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells defective in double-strand break rejoining 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Six CHO mutants have previously been described as being sensitive to ionizing radiation and bleomycin treatment, with little or no cross sensitivity to UV-radiation (Jeggo and Kemp, 1983). Their ability to rejoin single- and double-strand breaks has been examined here. Using two techniques, gradient sedimentation and alkaline elution, no difference could be observed between wild-type and mutant strains in the initial number of single-strand breaks induced, the rate of rejoining, or the final level of single-strand breaks rejoined. Thus, a major inability to rejoin single-strand breaks is not the basis for sensitivity in these mutants. In contrast, all 6 mutants showed a decreased ability to rejoin the double-strand breaks induced by gamma-irradiation as measured by neutral elution. Rejoining of half of the breaks occurred in 37 min in wild-type cells and reached a maximum level of 72% after 2 h. All the mutants showed a decreased rate of rejoining, and the final level was 17% of that observed in the wild-type in the most defective mutant, and ranged from 35 to 69% in the other 5 mutants. These are the first mammalian cell mutants to be described with a defect in double-strand break rejoining. 相似文献

Eight human tumor cell lines with radiosensitivities (D0) ranging from 1 to 3 Gy were analyzed for their response to radiation-induced inhibition of DNA synthesis. These cell lines differ in their sensitivity to induction of DNA double-strand breaks and in the rate at which they rejoin DNA double-strand breaks. Fifty-gray doses of gamma rays induced between 35 and 75% inhibition in rates of DNA synthesis. The magnitude of the inhibition was not related to cellular radiosensitivity, frequency of initial DNA double-strand breaks, or the rate of rejoining of DNA double-strand breaks. All the cell lines studied had similar kinetics of recovery from inhibition of DNA synthesis following radiation exposure. These results suggest that factors other than or in addition to frequency of DNA double-strand breaks are important in the control of DNA synthesis following exposure to ionizing radiation in human tumor cell lines. 相似文献

In contrast to ligase-deficient (cdc9) Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which did not rejoin bleomycin-induced DNA breaks, ligase-proficient (CDC9) yeast cells eliminated approximately 90% of DNA breaks within 90 to 120 min after treatment. Experimental conditions restricted enzymatic removal of the unusual 3'-phosphoglycolate termini in DNA cleaved by bleomycin and involved doses producing equivalent numbers of DNA breaks or doses producing equivalent killing. 相似文献

The radiation-sensitive mutant M10 of mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells was examined for its ability to rejoin DNA single-strand breaks induced by gamma-rays. The alkaline sucrose gradient sedimentation analysis revealed that M10 cells repaired single-strand breaks but simultaneously produced increasing amounts of small DNA fragments with time of postirradiation incubation, something which was not observed in L5178Y cells. Since small fragments did not appear in M10 cells irradiated at room temperature, DNA fragmentation may result from cold treatment during irradiation followed by incubation at 37 degrees C. This indicates that the cold susceptibility is characteristic of M10 cells and is not related to radiation sensitivity of this mutant. This conclusion is supported by the finding that no DNA degradation takes place after cold treatment with a subsequent incubation in the other radiosensitive mutant LX830 that belongs to the same complementation group as M10. 相似文献

Strains of Escherichia coli K-12 mutant in the genes controlling excision repair (uvr) and genetic recombination (rec) have been studied with reference to their radiosensitivity and their ability to repair X-ray-induced single-strand breaks in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Mutations in the rec genes appreciably increase the radiosensitivity of E. coli K-12, whereas uvr mutations produce little if any increase in radiosensitivity. For a given dose of X-rays, the yield of single-strand breaks has been shown by alkaline sucrose gradient studies to be largely independent of the presence of rec or uvr mutations. The rec(+) cells (including those carrying the uvrB5 mutation) could efficiently rejoin X-ray-induced single-strand breaks in DNA, whereas recA56 mutants could not repair these breaks to any great extent. The recB21 and recC22 mutants showed some indication of repair capacity. From these studies, it is concluded that a correlation exists between the inability to repair single-strand breaks and the radiosensitivity of the rec mutants of E. coli K-12. This suggests that unrepaired single-strand breaks may be lethal lesions in E. coli. 相似文献

Summary This article summarizes the genetics and clinical features of ataxia telangiectasia (AT) and then reviews recent cytogenetic, cellular, and biochemical studies which support the hypothesis that a defect in DNA repair is responsible for the various manifestations of the disease. The biochemical evidence further indicates that the defect specifically reduces the cellular capacity to remove bases and nucleotides damaged by ionizing radiation, without affecting the cells' ability to scavenge free radicals or to rejoin breaks in the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA. Suggestions for additional research to more precisely identify the repair defect will also be presented. 相似文献

Genetic analysis of ionising radiation sensitive mutants of cultured mammalian cell lines 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The genetic diversity of a range of ionising radiation sensitive mutants of cultured mammalian cell lines has been examined. Hybrids were constructed from suitably marked diploid cells by cell fusion and selected using resistance to HAT and ouabain. Hybrids were examined for ploidy and gamma-ray sensitivity. The data suggest that at least 8 and possibly 9 complementation groups exist which confer sensitivity to ionising radiation. Mutants in at least 3 distinct complementation groups have a reduced ability to rejoin DNA double-strand breaks. 相似文献

Comparative studies on induction and rejoining of DNA single-strand breaks by radiation and chemical carcinogen in mammalian cells in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This study, using the 5–20% alkaline sucrose gradient method, indicated that single-strand breaks of DNA in cultured mammalian cells were induced as a linear function of the dose of X-ray and chemical carcinogen (4-HAQO). The rejoining of broken single-strand of DNA induced by these agents seems to consist of two processes: an initial rapid rejoining process and a late slow rejoining process. Single-strand breaks of cellular DNA induced by these two agents rejoin at nearly the same rate for each of the two processes during incubation. 相似文献

Soaked seeds of Vicia faba were exposed to fractionated doses of x-rays or x-rays and fast neutrons. When the two-hit (exchange) chromosome aberrations were scored at the first mitosis of the root tip, it was observed that with short fractionation times the radiation-induced breaks from the two x-ray doses could rejoin with one another to form exchanges in proportion to the square of the total dose. If, however, one dose was x-rays and the second neutrons, then no quantitatively determinable interaction occurred between the breaks induced by each of the doses, and the aberration yield was simply the sum of that induced by each fraction. The phenomenon of non-interaction as observed by these dose fractionation studies and also by the linear dose response curve for two-break aberrations induced by neutrons has led to calculations of the distance over which two breaks can rejoin. The distance is evidently much smaller than the previously accepted value of 1 micro. 相似文献

This work presents a neutral filter elution method for detecting DNA double strand breaks in mouse L1210 cells after X-ray. The assay will detect the number of double strand breaks induced by as little as 1000 rad of X-ray. The rate of DNA elution through the filters under neutral conditions increases with X-ray dose. Certain conditions for deproteinization, pH, and filter type are shown to increase the assay's sensitivity. Hydrogen peroxide and Bleomycin also induce apparent DNA double strand breaks, although the ratios of double to single strand breaks vary from those produced by X-ray. The introduction of double strand cuts by HpA I restriction endonuclease in DNA lysed on filters results in a rapid rate of elution under neutral conditions, implying that the method can detect double strand breaks if they exist in the DNA. The eluted DNA bands with a double stranded DNA marker in cesium chloride. This evidence suggests that the assay detects DNA double strand breaks. L1210 cells are shown to rejoin most of the DNA double strand breaks induced by 5-10 krad of X-ray with a half-time of about 40 minutes. 相似文献

This work was devoted to investigation or repair regulation by biological factors: viruses and interferon. DNA damage induced by gamma- and UV-irradiation, ethyleneimine and 4-nitro-quinoline-1-oxide (4-NQO) were studied, by sedimentation of lysed cells through alkaline sucrose gradients, by hydroxylapatite column chromatography and by the chromosomal aberration test. The reproducible vaccinia virus resulted in simulation repair activity of chick embryo cells after treatment with 4-NQO. Interferon, added after gamma- and UV-irradiation, decreased the chromosomal aberration level, stabilized it after ethyleneimine treatment and also stimulated the ability of cells to rejoin DNA breaks induced by 4-NQO. The cause of this phenomenon is discussed. 相似文献

D-ribose inhibits DNA repair synthesis in human lymphocytes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

D-ribose is cytotoxic for quiescent human lymphocytes and severely inhibits their PHA-induced proliferation at concentrations (25-50 mM) at which other simple sugars are ineffective. In order to explain these effects, DNA repair synthesis was evaluated in PHA-stimulated human lymphocytes treated with hydroxyurea and irradiated. D-ribose, in contrast to other reducing sugars, did not induce repair synthesis and therefore did not apparently damage DNA in a direct way, although it markedly inhibited gamma ray-induced repair. Taking into account that lymphocytes must rejoin physiologically-formed DNA strand breaks in order to enter the cell cycle, we suggest that D-ribose exerts its cytotoxic activity by interfering with metabolic pathways critical for the repair of DNA breaks. 相似文献
