The effect of ATP on the first step of excision repair of ultraviolet damage in DNA has been studied using toluene-treated E. coli. During postirradiation incubation, five to six times more single-strand breaks are formed in DNA in the presence of exogenous ATP than in its absence. The ATP-dependent as well as the ATP-independent endonucleolytic activities appear to be catalyzed by the same enzyme since both activities are almost completely absent in uvrA and uvrB mutants. An ATP-dependent endonucleolytic activity has been detected in nonirradiated toluene-treated E. coli. It is concluded that ATP is required in vivo for either the incision step of repair or an enzymatic reaction preceding it.
利用经甲苯处理的大肠杆菌,研究了ATP对DNA中紫外线损伤切除修复第一步的影响。在照射后的孵育过程中,存在外源性ATP时,DNA中形成的单链断裂比不存在时多五到六倍。依赖ATP的以及不依赖ATP的内切核酸酶活性似乎由同一种酶催化,因为在uvrA和uvrB突变体中这两种活性几乎完全缺失。在未照射的经甲苯处理的大肠杆菌中检测到了依赖ATP的内切核酸酶活性。得出的结论是,体内修复的切口步骤或其之前的酶促反应需要ATP。
