The repair of gamma-ray-induced DNA single-strand breaks (SSB) in transcribed (Alu-enriched DNA, proto-oncogene c-myc) and non-transcribed (human satellite III) DNA of HeLa cells has been investigated. A special methodical approach has been developed. The method involved alkaline sucrose sedimentation followed by Southern hybridization in situ of 32P labelled plasmids (probes) containing sequences analysed with total DNA distributed through sucrose gradient fractions. The degree of the probes hybridization with cellular DNA was the criteria of the damage and that of DNA repair. The induction of DNA SSB after irradiation (100 Gy) in Alu-enriched DNA and c-myc gene was shown to be 1.3-1.4 time more often while than in satellite DNA, and 1.4 time lower compared to that in total DNA. The rate of DNA repair was different: the most part of lesions was eliminated in the first 10-20 minutes in all cases. For this time 60-67, 50-66, 35-50 and 45-50% DNA SSB were eliminated from transcribed DNA (c-myc, Alu), non-transcribed DNA (satellite III) and total DNA, respectively. Thus, the preferable (fast) repair of gamma-ray-induced DNA SSB takes place in transcribed DNA compared to that in non-transcribed DNA of HeLa cells.

D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
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
D004276 DNA, Satellite Highly repetitive DNA sequences found in HETEROCHROMATIN, mainly near centromeres. They are composed of simple sequences (very short) (see MINISATELLITE REPEATS) repeated in tandem many times to form large blocks of sequence. Additionally, following the accumulation of mutations, these blocks of repeats have been repeated in tandem themselves. The degree of repetition is on the order of 1000 to 10 million at each locus. Loci are few, usually one or two per chromosome. They were called satellites since in density gradients, they often sediment as distinct, satellite bands separate from the bulk of genomic DNA owing to a distinct BASE COMPOSITION.
