The Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cell mutant XRS-6 is defective in rejoining of DNA double-strand breaks and is hypersensitive to X-rays, gamma-rays, and bleomycin. Radiation resistance or sensitivity of somatic cell hybrids constructed from the fusion of XRS-6 cells with primary human fibroblasts strongly correlated with the retention of human chromosome 2 isozyme and molecular markers. Discordancies between some chromosome 2 markers and the radiation resistance phenotype in some of the hybrid cells suggested the location of the X-ray repair cross complementing 5 (XRCC5) gene on the p arm of chromosome 2. Introduction of human chromosome 2 by microcell-mediated chromosome transfer into the radiation-sensitive XRS-6 cells resulted in hybrid cells in which the radiation sensitivity was complemented. The chromosome 2p origin of the complementing human DNA in the microcell hybrids was supported by fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis of human metaphases using human DNA amplified from the hybrids by inter-Alu-PCR as chromosome-painting probes. XRCC5 is therefore provisionally assigned to human chromosome 2p.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
