Human repair gene restores normal pattern of preferential DNA repair in repair defective CHO cells.
The pattern of preferential DNA repair of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers was studied in repair-deficient Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells transfected with the human excision repair gene, ERCC-1. Repair efficiency was measured in the active dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene and in its flanking, non-transcribed sequences in three cell lines: Wild type CHO cells, a UV-sensitive excision deficient...
متن کاملDNA-Repair Capacity in Down\'s Syndrome
Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in human. Subjects with DS are known to be peridisposed to develop leukemia. The molecular basis of the association between DS and leukemia is unknown. The unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test measure the ability of DNA-repair in mammalian cells after excision of a stretch of DNA containing the region of damage induced by chemical ...
متن کاملPreferential DNA repair in expressed genes.
Potentially deleterious alterations to DNA occur nonrandomly within the mammalian genome. These alterations include the adducts produced by many chemical carcinogens, but not the UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer, which may be an exception. Recent studies in our laboratory have shown that the excision repair of pyrimidine dimers and certain other lesions is nonrandom in the mammalian geno...
متن کاملMutations in hamster single-strand break repair gene XRCC1 causing defective DNA repair.
The molecular basis for the DNA repair dysfunction observed in mutant Chinese hamster ovary cell lines of X-ray repair cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1) is unknown and the exact role of the XRCC1 protein remains unclear. To help clarify the role of the XRCC1 gene we analyzed four mutant cell lines of this complementation group and a revertant cell line for XRCC1 protein content and for sequen...
متن کاملEstablishment of the DNA repair-defective mutants in DT40 cells.
The chicken B cell line DT40 has been widely used as a model system for reverse genetics studies in higher eukaryotes, because of its advantages including efficient gene targeting and ease of chromosome manipulation. Although the genetic approach using the RNA interference technique has become the standard method particularly in human cells, DT40 still remains a powerful tool to investigate the...
