Journal ArticleDOI
Xeroderma pigmentosum cells with normal levels of excision repair have a defect in DNA synthesis after UV-irradiation.
Alan R. Lehmann,S. Kirk-Bell,Colin F. Arlett,M. C. Paterson,P. H. M. Lohman,E. A. de Weerd-Kastelein,Dirk Bootsma +6 more
TL;DR: Two cell lines from classes of xeroderma pigmentosum that are defective in excision-repair show intermediate effects, with regard to both the time taken to convert newly synthesized DNA to high molecular weight and the inhibition of this process by caffeine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defective excision repair of γ-ray-damaged DNA in human (ataxia telangiectasia) fibroblasts
TL;DR: Direct biochemical evidence is provided that diploid strains from AT donors are indeed impaired in DNA repair; in particular, these cell lines possess an enzymatic defect in an excision-type repair process operating on γ-modified nitrogenous base residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a UV endonuclease from Micrococcus luteus to monitor the progress of DNA repair in UV-irradiated human cells
TL;DR: Those derived from patients suffering from either the classical or the De Sanctis-Cacchione clinical form of Xeroderma pigmentosum exhibit a marked diminution in the rate of disappearance of nuclease-susceptible lesions with time of post-UV incubation.
Book ChapterDOI
Ataxia Telangiectasia: An Inherited Human Disease Involving Radiosensitivity, Malignancy and Defective DNA Repair
TL;DR: It is led to conclude that DNA damage can lead to congenital malformations; thus, enzymatic DNA repair processes play a vital role in normal neonatal development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defective DNA repair and increased lethality in ataxia telangiectasia cells exposed to 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide
P. J. Smith,M. C. Paterson +1 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that certain AT cell strains show hypersensitivity to inactivation by 4NQO and defective repair of 4NZO-induced adducts in DNA and survival responses and DNA repair abilities of AT cells exposed to 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide.
