The distribution of methyl methanesulfonate induced DNA repair was measured in mouse mammary cell chromatin by digestion of "repair labeled" nuclei with micrococcal nuclease. The results indicate that there is a nonuniform distribution of DNA repair in chromatin. The chromatin fraction digested during the first 5 minutes of incubation with micrococcal nuclease appears to be a primary site of DNA repair after methyl methanesulfoante treatment. The observed nonuniform distribution of DNA repair in chromatin may be due to 1)a nonrandom alkylation of DNA in chromatin by methyl methanesulfonate or 2)areas in chromatin of increased accessibility for the repair enzymes to the DNA lesions.
通过用微球菌核酸酶消化“修复标记”的细胞核,测定了甲磺酸甲酯诱导的DNA修复在小鼠乳腺细胞染色质中的分布。结果表明,染色质中DNA修复的分布不均匀。在用微球菌核酸酶孵育的最初5分钟内被消化的染色质部分似乎是甲磺酸甲酯处理后DNA修复的主要位点。在染色质中观察到的DNA修复分布不均匀可能是由于:1)甲磺酸甲酯对染色质中DNA的非随机烷基化,或2)染色质中修复酶对DNA损伤的可及性增加的区域。
