Abstract
3-Aminobenzamide, an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, produced rapid reversible changes in single-strand break frequencies in DNA from primary human fibroblasts damaged by alkylating agents, but it did not cause such changes in the DNA of cells damaged by UV light. The increase in single-strand peak frequencies was not due to an accumulation of blocked repair sites, such as occurs with DNA polymerase inhibitors, but to a delay in the rejoining of induced breaks. 3-Aminobenzamide increases the net break frequency that results from a dynamic balance between excision and ligation. This balance appears to be regulated at the ligation step by ADP ribosylation, which is rapidly altered by addition or removal of 3-aminobenzamide. The rapidity with which strand break frequencies change in the presence of 3-aminobenzamide implies the individual strand breaks resulting from excision at any time after exposure have a lifetime of no more than about 30 min in the cell.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
