Journal ArticleDOI
The role of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in cell survival, mutagenesis and carcinogenesis
Journal ArticleDOI
Repair of O6-methylguanine in DNA by demethylation is lacking in Mer- human tumor cell strains.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the Mer- strains are deficient in methyltransferase and that this is the fundamental reason for their hypersensitivity to the cytotoxic effects of DNA alkylation.
Journal Article
Inactivation of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase and sensitization of human tumor cells to killing by chloroethylnitrosourea by O6-methylguanine as a free base.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DNA repair capacity of tumor cells can be diminished without DNA damage, and a method for increasing the efficiency of chemotherapy is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of O6-Methylguanine in Human Cell Killing, Sister Chromatid Exchange Induction and Mutagenesis: A Review
TL;DR: It is premature to conclude that O6mG is not a lesion lethal to certain cultured cells, but data linking O 6mG to causation are inconclusive, and a model invoking a mismatch and excision response to O6MG proposed by Sklar & Strauss (1980).
Journal ArticleDOI
O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in human cells
TL;DR: O6-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase activity was measured in extracts of human tumor cells and was partially purified from human placenta, with transiently exceeded the original levels by 50% 48 h after treatment.
