The tobacco-specific nitrosamine, 4-(N-nitrosomethylamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)- 1-butanone (NNK) can be activated to DNA-binding species by two pathways: methylene hydroxylation leads to an equimolar formation of methyldiazohydroxide and 4-oxo-4-(3-pyridyl)-butanal followed by DNA methylation, while methyl hydroxylation leads to DNA pyridyloxobutylation via the 4-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxobutyldiazohydroxide (Hecht et al., 1988; Spratt et al., 1989). We report here that the ketoaldehyde, 4-oxo-4-(3-pyridyl)-butanal, as well as 4-(N-carbethoxy-N-nitrosamino)-1-(3- pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNC), a model compound for pyridyloxobutylation, form DNA adducts in vitro, as detected by 32P-postlabelling assays. The two major adduct spots of both compounds were chromatographically indistinguishable, suggesting structurally similar DNA adducts.

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).

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

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
