Thermal stability of DNA with interstrand crosslinks.
Although many anticancer drugs exert their biological activity by forming DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs), the thermodynamics of biologically relevant long crosslinked DNAs has not been intensively studied in contrast to short duplexes. Here, we carry out computer modeling of the shift of melting temperature of long DNAs caused by ICLs taking into account crosslinking effect in itself and con...
متن کاملDNA Interstrand Crosslinks Repair in Mammalian Cells
We studied the formation of double strand breaks (DSBs) as intermediates in the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) by homologous recombination (HR). The plasmid EGFP-N1 was crosslinked with trioxsalen to give one ICL per plasmid on average. HeLa cells were transfected with the crosslinked plasmids and the ICL repair was monitored by following the restoration of the GFP expression. It w...
متن کاملNEIL1 responds and binds to psoralen-induced DNA interstrand crosslinks.
Recent evidence suggests a role for base excision repair (BER) proteins in the response to DNA interstrand crosslinks, which block replication and transcription, and lead to cell death and genetic instability. Employing fluorescently tagged fusion proteins and laser microirradiation coupled with confocal microscopy, we observed that the endonuclease VIII-like DNA glycosylase, NEIL1, accumulates...
متن کاملDifferential sensitivity of chromium-mediated DNA interstrand crosslinks and DNA-protein crosslinks to disruption by alkali and EDTA.
Some compounds of hexavalent chromium are well-established carcinogens. Chromium enters mammalian cells in the hexavalent form and is reduced to chromium (III). Treatment of purified DNA with chromium (III) produces DNA-DNA interstrand crosslinks (DDC) which obstruct the progression of DNA polymerases in vitro. DDC were also detected in chromate-treated cultured normal human lung cells using th...
متن کاملStability of adriamycin-induced DNA adducts and interstrand crosslinks
The stability of adriamycin-induced DNA adducts and interstrand crosslinks was measured at 37 degrees C by three independent procedures. The loss of [14C]-labelled adducts was described by two first-order decays with half-lives of 7.4 h (60% amplitude) and 39 h (40%). The loss of the drug chromophore also exhibited a biphasic character, with half-lives of 6 h (65%) and approximately 150 h (35%)...
