The influence of solvents upon the effectiveness of carcinogenic agents.
In considering the explanation of the recognized influence of the solvent upon the carcinogenic effectiveness of a dissolved carcinogen we have focussed our attention upon the physical factors which affect the availability of the carcinogen to the tissues in situ. An attempted formulation (see Discussion) of a possible mechanism of transfer from the solvent to the nearby affected tissue suggest...
متن کاملHomologous recombination in mammalian cells.
Mouse LTKcells were transfected with a pair of defective Herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase ( t k ) genes. One tk gene had an 8-bp insertion mutation while the second gene had a 100-bp inversion. Extrachromosomal homologous recombination leading to the reconstruction of a functional tk gene was monitored by selecting for tk positive cells using medium supplemented with hypoxanthine/ aminopte...
متن کاملIntragenic Recombination in Maize: Pollen Analysis Methods
The ability to stain mature pollen grains for the presence of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activity permits the quantitation of ADH+ gametophytes at frequencies below 10-6. This resolution allows reversion and genetic fine structure analyses. The rationale of pollen analysis follows Nelson’s prototype studies with waxy. As with the waxy gene, revertant frequencies for seven Adhi-deficient (Adhi-...
متن کاملCentromere mitotic recombination in mammalian cells
Centromeres are special structures of eukaryotic chromosomes that hold sister chromatid together and ensure proper chromosome segregation during cell division. Centromeres consist of repeated sequences, which have hindered the study of centromere mitotic recombination and its consequences for centromeric function. We use a chromosome orientation fluorescence in situ hybridization technique to v...
متن کاملOn the conservative nature of intragenic recombination.
Intragenic recombination rapidly creates protein sequence diversity compared with random mutation, but little is known about the relative effects of recombination and mutation on protein function. Here, we compare recombination of the distantly related beta-lactamases PSE-4 and TEM-1 to mutation of PSE-4. We show that, among beta-lactamase variants containing the same number of amino acid subst...
