  • Title: Poly (ADP-ribose) is not involved in the rejoining of DNA breaks accumulated to high levels in u.v.-irradiated HeLa cells.
    Author: Collins A.
    Journal: Carcinogenesis; 1985 Jul; 6(7):1033-6. PubMed ID: 4017170.
    Abstract:
    U.v. damage to the DNA of HeLa cells induces the polymerisation of ADP-ribose, but only if repair synthesis is inhibited so that incomplete repair sites (i.e., DNA breaks) accumulate to abnormally high levels. 3-Aminobenzamide greatly reduces the ADP-ribose polymerisation response. However, 3-aminobenzamide does not reduce the rate of rejoining of the accumulated breaks when the inhibition of repair synthesis is reversed. Therefore, rejoining of these DNA breaks (in contrast to the rejoining of other kinds of break) appears not to depend on activation of polynucleotide ligase by ADP-ribosylation.
