In vitro enzymatic recognition of DNA modified by O,O'-diacetyl or O-acetyl derivatives of the carcinogen 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline-1-oxide. 1982

S Galiègue, and B Bailleul, and M H Loucheux-Lefebvre, and J Laval

Purified DNA was modified in vitro by 3H-labelled O-acetyl or O,O'-diacetyl-4-hydroxyaminoquinoline-1-oxide (Ac4HAQO or di Ac-4HAQO). It was then subjected to the action of the single-stranded DNA specific nuclease S1 and the digested fractions were analysed. For both types of modified DNA, the release of non-modified nucleotides was faster than the release of modified nucleotides. This result is at variance with that obtained with acetoxy-acetylaminofluorene-modified DNA: in the latter case, the modified nucleotides were preferentially released. The results suggest that the S1 endonuclease can recognize different conformational changes in DNA, which depend on the carcinogen used. The enzymatic activity (or activities) present in Micrococcus luteus cell extracts released ethanol-soluble products from Ac-4HAQO modified DNA.

D008837 Micrococcus A genus of gram-positive, spherical bacteria found in soils and fresh water, and frequently on the skin of man and other animals.
D002273 Carcinogens Substances that increase the risk of NEOPLASMS in humans or animals. Both genotoxic chemicals, which affect DNA directly, and nongenotoxic chemicals, which induce neoplasms by other mechanism, are included. Carcinogen,Oncogen,Oncogens,Tumor Initiator,Tumor Initiators,Tumor Promoter,Tumor Promoters,Initiator, Tumor,Initiators, Tumor,Promoter, Tumor,Promoters, Tumor
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).
