[Effect of the antitumor antibiotic bleomycin on DNA polymerase activity]. 1982

S N Naryzhnyĭ, and I V Shevelev, and V M Krutiakov

Treatment with bleomycin activates considerably a repair synthesis of DNA in rat liver chromatin in vitro and can cause loosening of the nucleoprotein complex, which facilitates the accessibility or repair enzymes for lesions in chromatin DNA. The bleomycin action on DNA-template increases severalfold the rate of synthesis catalyzed by DNA polymerase beta inhibits the activity of DNA polymerase I from Escherichia coli and suppresses severalfold the activity of DNA polymerase alpha and DNA polymerase of bacteriophage T4. The effect of bleomycin consists in a prevailing increase of nicks and minimal gaps in DNA as compared to the rise of moderate gaps, thus suggesting that bleomycin is a gamma-mimetic.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D001761 Bleomycin A complex of related glycopeptide antibiotics from Streptomyces verticillus consisting of bleomycin A2 and B2. It inhibits DNA metabolism and is used as an antineoplastic, especially for solid tumors.

D002843 Chromatin The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell. Chromatins
D003090 Coliphages Viruses whose host is Escherichia coli. Escherichia coli Phages,Coliphage,Escherichia coli Phage,Phage, Escherichia coli,Phages, Escherichia coli
D004256 DNA Polymerase I A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in prokaryotes and may be present in higher organisms. It has both 3'-5' and 5'-3' exonuclease activity, but cannot use native double-stranded DNA as template-primer. It is not inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents and is active in both DNA synthesis and repair. DNA Polymerase alpha,DNA-Dependent DNA Polymerase I,Klenow Fragment,DNA Pol I,DNA Dependent DNA Polymerase I,Polymerase alpha, DNA
D004257 DNA Polymerase II A DNA-dependent DNA polymerase characterized in E. coli and other lower organisms. It may be present in higher organisms and has an intrinsic molecular activity only 5% of that of DNA Polymerase I. This polymerase has 3'-5' exonuclease activity, is effective only on duplex DNA with gaps or single-strand ends of less than 100 nucleotides as template, and is inhibited by sulfhydryl reagents. DNA Polymerase epsilon,DNA-Dependent DNA Polymerase II,DNA Pol II,DNA Dependent DNA Polymerase II
D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.
