Repair of x-ray-induced single strand breaks in toluenized Escherichia coli cells. 1976

E A Waldstein, and R B Setlow

We have used sedimentation in alkali to estimate the repair of X-ray-induced single strand breaks in the DNA of irradiated toluenized Escherichia coli cells. Extensive repair requires no exogenous cofactors except ATP although other individual NTPs (except U) or dNTPs can substitute for ATP. There is no repair in polA or resA cells and since nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) inhibits repair in wild type cells we interpret the results as indicating that both ligase and polymerase I are needed for repair but that the amount of any gap filling is small and extensive repair replication is not necessary.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009243 NAD A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-diphosphate coupled to adenosine 5'-phosphate by pyrophosphate linkage. It is found widely in nature and is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions in which it serves as an electron carrier by being alternately oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH).

D009537 Nicotinamide Mononucleotide 3-Carbamoyl-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl pyridinium hydroxide-5'phosphate, inner salt. A nucleotide in which the nitrogenous base, nicotinamide, is in beta-N-glycosidic linkage with the C-1 position of D-ribose. Synonyms: Nicotinamide Ribonucleotide; NMN. Mononucleotide, Nicotinamide

D004277 DNA, Single-Stranded A single chain of deoxyribonucleotides that occurs in some bacteria and viruses. It usually exists as a covalently closed circle. Single-Stranded DNA,DNA, Single Stranded,Single Stranded DNA
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
