Abstract:
:Ditercalinium, an antitumor bifunctional intercalator which forms a high affinity reversible complex with DNA, was found to be specifically cytotoxic for polA and lig7 E. coli strains. In the polA strain, the cytotoxic effect of ditercalinium was suppressed by the uvrA mutation. DNA single strand breaks accumulated in presence of ditercalinium at high temperature in lig7 strains but not in polA strains. Ditercalinium caused no DNA synthesis inhibition although it was able to induce SOS functions. It is proposed that the ditercalinium DNA complex because of its non covalent nature acts as a dummy lesion for the UV repair system in E. coli leading to a futile and abortive repair process. Polymerase I appears to be required to prevent the malfunctioning of a DNA repair process triggered by molecules forming non covalent complex with DNA.

杂志文章abstract::p73, the p53 homologue, exists as a transactivation-domain-proficient TAp73 or deficient deltaN(DN)p73 form. Expectedly, the oncogenic DNp73 that is capable of inactivating both TAp73 and p53 function, is over-expressed in cancers. However, the role of TAp73, which exhibits tumour-suppressive properties in gain or los...
