Effects of poly[d(pGpT).d(pApC)] and poly[d(pCpG).d(pCpG)] repeats on homologous recombination in somatic cells.

Abstract:

:Sequencing studies have shown that in somatic cells alternating runs of purines and pyrimidines are frequently associated with recombination crossover points. To test whether such sequences actually promote recombination, we have examined the effects of poly[d(pGpT).d(pApC)] and poly[d(pCpG).d(pCpG)] repeats on a homologous recombination event. The parental molecule used in this study, pSVLD, is capable of generating wild-type simian virus 40 DNA via recombination across two 751-base-pair regions of homology and has been described previously (Miller et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81:7534-7538, 1984). Single inserts of either a poly[d(pGpT).d(pApC)] repeat or a poly[d(pCpG).d(pCpG)] repeat were positioned adjacent to one region of homology in such a way that the recombination product, wild-type simian virus 40 DNA, could be formed only by recombination within the homologies and not by recombination across the alternating purine-pyrimidine repeats. We have found that upon transfection of test DNAs into simian cells, a poly[d(pCpG).d(pCpG)] repeat enhanced homologous recombination 10- to 15-fold, whereas a poly[d(pGpT).d(pApC)] repeat had less effect. These results are discussed in terms of the features of these repeats that might be responsible for promoting homologous recombination.
