Comparison of repair of methylated pyrimidines in poly(dT) by extracts from rat liver and Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:Partially purified preparations of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase from rat liver and E. coli were tested for their ability to repair O4-methylthymine in a methylated poly(dT) X poly(dA) substrate. The bacterial preparation readily carried out this reaction, but no loss of O4-methylthymine was obtained with the rat liver protein. These results indicate a significant difference in specificity between the mammalian and bacterial proteins which could have important consequences for carcinogenesis and mutagenesis by alkylating agents in mammalian cells.

  • Nucleolar stress characterized by downregulation of nucleophosmin: a novel cause of neuronal degeneration.

    abstract::Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a multifunctional nucleolar protein that has been linked with nucleolar stress. In non-neuronal cell lines, NPM may enhance or inhibit the activity of tumor suppressor p53, a major apoptotic protein. The relationship between NPM and p53 in the central nervous system (CNS) remains unknown. Here, ...
