Unscheduled DNA synthesis in cell lysate system reflecting DNA repair in vivo. 1984

K Yamada, and F Hanaoka, and H Kato, and M Yamada

A cell lysate system by which DNA repair (unscheduled) synthesis induced by DNA damaging agents can be measured at high sensitivity as previously reported (9, 18) was characterized. Time-course experiments in which the in vivo incubation time with hydroxyurea and arabinofuranosyl cytosine after UV irradiation was changed suggested that the number of single strand gaps increased in the presence of these drugs. Alkaline sucrose density gradient analysis of prelabeled DNA revealed that the repair apparatus in the drug-treated cells was not irreversibly impaired. Product DNA in this lysate system was compared with that of an in vitro replication system on alkaline CsC1 equilibrium density gradient, and the results showed that DNA synthesis in the lysate system was "repair-type" synthesis. When the cells were labeled with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd) in vivo and then labeled with [3H] dTTP in vitro, the photolysis of BrdUrd-labeled DNA decreased the molecular weight, indicating that DNA synthesis in the cell lysate was a continuation of DNA repair in vivo.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.

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).

D004260 DNA Repair The removal of DNA LESIONS and/or restoration of intact DNA strands without BASE PAIR MISMATCHES, intrastrand or interstrand crosslinks, or discontinuities in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbones. DNA Damage Response

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.

D015224 Dideoxynucleosides Nucleosides that have two hydroxy groups removed from the sugar moiety. The majority of these compounds have broad-spectrum antiretroviral activity due to their action as antimetabolites. The nucleosides are phosphorylated intracellularly to their 5'-triphosphates and act as chain-terminating inhibitors of viral reverse transcription. 2',3'-Dideoxynucleosides,Dideoxyribonucleosides,ddNus,2',3' Dideoxynucleosides
