When isolated chromatin is incubated with the carcinogens N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MeNU) and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (EtNU), DNA and chromosomal proteins become alkylated to increasingly greater extents as the carcinogen concentrations increase. With either MeNU or EtNU, the core and linker DNA of chromatin are alkylated to essentially identical extents. Alkylation of chromatin DNA as well as free DNA is drastically reduced at physiological ionic strengths (e.g. 0.15 M NaCl). The presence of 0.15 M NaCl, on the other hand, enhances alkylation of chromosomal proteins. While EtNU is much less reactive to DNA than MeNU, alkylation of chromosomal proteins relative to that of chromatin DNA has been found to be markedly greater with EtNU than with MeNU. Such a difference in their relative reactivities toward DNA and proteins may be related to the known difference of carcinogenic potency between these N-nitroso compounds. 相似文献

Template properties of DNA alkylated with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Alkylation of DNA with N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MeNU) and N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (EtNU) reduces its ability to support RNA synthesis catalyzed by exogenously added RNA polymerase. It is likely that 7-alkylguanine and alkyl phosphotriester in DNA are mainly responsible for the inhibition of RNA synthesis. The inhibitory effect of alkyl groups varies depending upon divalent metal ions and the type of RNA polymerase used as well as upon the presence of chromosomal proteins on DNA templates. Analyses of RNA products indicate that inhibition occurs primarily at the initiation step. 相似文献
