Xeroderma pigmentosum: in vitro complementation of DNA repair endonuclease. 1984

D Helland, and R Kleppe, and J R Lillehaug, and K Kleppe

The DNA repair endonuclease activity has been studied in several xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) cell lines of complementation groups A and C. phi X174 RFI DNA treated with u.v.-light or OsO4 was used as a substrate. All XP cells tested appeared to lack this enzyme compared to control cells. However, when extracts from complementation groups A and C were mixed, activity levels close to that of the control cells were found, clearly indicating that the two cell lines can complement each other with regard to the DNA repair endonuclease activity. The XP cells were found to contain normal levels of AP-endonuclease.

D010584 Bacteriophage phi X 174 The type species of the genus MICROVIRUS. A prototype of the small virulent DNA coliphages, it is composed of a single strand of supercoiled circular DNA, which on infection, is converted to a double-stranded replicative form by a host enzyme.

D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.

D014983 Xeroderma Pigmentosum A rare, pigmentary, and atrophic autosomal recessive disease. It is manifested as an extreme photosensitivity to ULTRAVIOLET RAYS as the result of a deficiency in the enzyme that permits excisional repair of ultraviolet-damaged DNA.

D043223 Deoxyribonuclease IV (Phage T4-Induced) An enzyme which catalyzes the endonucleolytic cleavage of phosphodiester bonds at purinic or apyrimidinic sites (AP-sites) to produce 5'-Phosphooligonucleotide end products. The enzyme prefers single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and was formerly classified as EC 3.1.4.30. Deoxyriboendonuclease IV,Endonuclease IV,Redoxyendonuclease
