Abstract: | The effect of hydroxyurea on DNA repair replication has been studied in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Mitotic cells were treated with UV irradiation, methyl methanesulfonate or nitrogen mustard and incuated in the presence of each of the 4 [3H]deoxyribonucleosides plus BrdUrd and FdUrd for 2 h. The amount of repair replication was quantitated on CsCl gradients and similar values were obtained for each nucleoside. In all cases addition of HU during the incubation period increased these values approximately 2-fold. Following MMS treatment, pool sizes for each of the nucleosides were estimated by varying the amount of exogenously supplied nucleoside. They were found to be insensitive to the addition of HU and it is concluded that the increased incorporation of [3H]deoxyribonucleosides in the presence of HU reflects an increased amount of repair replication. |
