Reversion of adenine auxotrophic strains of D. radiodurans by cross-links in DNA was studied. Mutation was induced in a wild-type but not in a mitomycin C sensitive mutant after irradiation with near UV (approximately 365nm) in the presence of 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen (TMP). To get information on implication of cross-links in the observed mutation, cells containing monoadducts in DNA were exposed to near UV in the absence of TMP. The mutation frequency of the wild-type increased with increasing the cross-links in DNA. These results suggest that structural defects after removal of cross-links in DNA induce mutation in D. radiodurans.
研究了DNA交联对耐辐射异常球菌腺嘌呤营养缺陷型菌株回复突变的影响。在4,5',8-三甲基补骨脂素(TMP)存在的情况下,用近紫外光(约365nm)照射后,野生型菌株发生了突变,但丝裂霉素C敏感突变体未发生突变。为了了解交联在观察到的突变中的作用,将DNA中含有单加合物的细胞在无TMP的情况下暴露于近紫外光。野生型的突变频率随着DNA中交联的增加而增加。这些结果表明,DNA交联去除后的结构缺陷会诱导耐辐射异常球菌发生突变。
