Analysis of UV-induced DNA photoproducts by 32P-postlabelling

Abstract
UV-Induced cyclobutane dimers and 6–4 photoproducts, containing an unmodilled nucleotide at the 5'-posltion were released from DNA by means of digestion with DNase I, snake venom phosphodlesterase and prostatic acid phos phatase. The enzymes were deactivated by proteinase K followed by ethanol precipitation. The products were phos phorylated by polynucleotide kinase and [γ-32P]ATP. The TLC system used for the analysis enables separation of the different photoproducts and detection at a fmol level. T4 endonuclease treatment was applied to confirm the positions of cyclobutane dimers.
