[The effect of methylnitronitrosoguanidine on DNA synthesis in human and animal cells. Inhibition of DNA synthesis in asynchronous and synchronous cultured cells]. 1985

Sh N Dulatova, and N A Liapunova

Methylnitronitrosoguanidine (MNNG) is reported to inhibit DNA synthesis in intact human cells, in the cells from patients with ataxia telangiectasia (AT) or the cells from two rodent species. DNA synthesis in different cell lines exhibits varying sensitivity to MNNG inhibitory effect. 4-5-fold higher concentrations of MNNG are required for 50% inhibition of DNA synthesis in AT cells or in field vole cells as compared with the concentration required for human cells or Chinese hamster. The different compactness of two chromatin fractions might possibly result in lower sensitivity of DNA synthesis in heterochromatin to MNNG-induced inhibition as compared with the sensitivity of euchromatin. The genetic expression of AT defect on the cellular level is supposed to be connected with changes in supramolecular packaging of chromatin in interphase nuclei.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D006224 Cricetinae A subfamily in the family MURIDAE, comprising the hamsters. Four of the more common genera are Cricetus, CRICETULUS; MESOCRICETUS; and PHODOPUS. Cricetus,Hamsters,Hamster
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
