Recent findings concerning the presumed existence of single-strand breaks (SSB) in quiescent human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) are discussed in relation to the role of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in DNA strand break metabolism. It is argued that the activation of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (ADPRP) by a DNA-damaging agent is not indicative of an obligatory role of poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation in DNA repair. From this it follows that SSB induced by different strand-breaking agents might be removed by either ADPRP-dependent or ADPRP-independent DNA repair pathways.
本文讨论了关于静止期人外周血淋巴细胞(PBL)中可能存在单链断裂(SSB)的最新研究结果,并探讨了聚(ADP-核糖基)化在DNA链断裂代谢中的作用。有人认为,DNA损伤剂激活聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶(ADPRP)并不意味着聚(ADP-核糖基)化在DNA修复中起必然作用。由此可见,不同的链断裂剂诱导产生的SSB可能通过依赖ADPRP或不依赖ADPRP的DNA修复途径来修复。
