Preferential DNA repair of alkali-labile sites within the active insulin gene.
DNA damage and repair were studied in a DNA fragment containing the insulin gene after treatment of cells with methylnitrosourea. For these studies, two clonal isolates from the same rat insulinoma cell line which differ in that the insulin gene is transcribed in one (RINr 38) and is silent in the other (RINr B2) were utilized. Both the determination of immunologically reactive insulin released...
متن کاملPreferential repair of DNA double-strand break at the active gene in vivo.
Previous studies have demonstrated transcription-coupled nucleotide/base excision repair. We report here for the first time that DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair is also coupled to transcription. We generated a yeast strain by introducing a homing (Ho) endonuclease cut site followed by a nucleotide sequence for multiple Myc epitopes at the 3' end of the coding sequence of a highly active ge...
متن کاملHuman 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 کاملRepair of radiation-induced heat-labile sites is independent of DNA-PKcs, XRCC1 and PARP.
Ionizing radiation induces a variety of different DNA lesions; in addition to the most critical DNA damage, the DSB, numerous base alterations, SSBs and other modifications of the DNA double-helix are formed. When several non-DSB lesions are clustered within a short distance along DNA, or close to a DSB, they may interfere with the repair of DSBs and affect the measurement of DSB induction and ...
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...
