Abstract
Unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) is the final stage of the process of repair of DNA lesions induced by UVC. We detected UDS using a DNA precursor, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU). Using wide-field, confocal and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy and normal human fibroblasts, derived from healthy subjects, we demonstrate that the sub-nuclear pattern of UDS detected via incorporation of EdU is different from that when BrdU is used as DNA precursor. EdU incorporation occurs evenly throughout chromatin, as opposed to just a few small and large repair foci detected by BrdU. We attribute this difference to the fact that BrdU antibody is of much larger size than EdU, and its accessibility to the incorporated precursor requires the presence of denatured sections of DNA. It appears that under the standard conditions of immunocytochemical detection of BrdU only fragments of DNA of various length are being denatured. We argue that, compared with BrdU, the UDS pattern visualized by EdU constitutes a more faithful representation of sub-nuclear distribution of the final stage of nucleotide excision repair induced by UVC. Using the optimized integrated EdU detection procedure we also measured the relative amount of the DNA precursor incorporated by cells during UDS following exposure to various doses of UVC. Also described is the high degree of heterogeneity in terms of the UVC-induced EdU incorporation per cell, presumably reflecting various DNA repair efficiencies or differences in the level of endogenous dT competing with EdU within a population of normal human fibroblasts.

Abstract
In fast growing eukaryotic cells, a subset of rRNA genes are transcribed at very high rates by RNA polymerase I (RNAPI). Nuclease digestion-assays and psoralen crosslinking have shown that they are open; that is, largely devoid of nucleosomes. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae, nucleotide excision repair (NER) and photolyase remove UV photoproducts faster from open rRNA genes than from closed and nucleosome-loaded inactive rRNA genes. After UV irradiation, rRNA transcription declines because RNAPI halt at UV photoproducts and are then displaced from the transcribed strand. When the DNA lesion is quickly recognized by NER, it is the sub-pathway transcription-coupled TC-NER that removes the UV photoproduct. If dislodged RNAPI are replaced by nucleosomes before NER recognizes the lesion, then it is the sub-pathway global genome GG-NER that removes the UV photoproducts from the transcribed strand. Also, GG-NER maneuvers in the non-transcribed strand of open genes and in both strands of closed rRNA genes. After repair, transcription resumes and elongating RNAPI reopen the rRNA gene. In higher eukaryotes, NER in rRNA genes is inefficient and there is no evidence for TC-NER. Moreover, TC-NER does not occur in RNA polymerase III transcribed genes of both, yeast and human fibroblast.

Abstract
All eukaryotic cells manifest cell cycle delay after exposure to DNA damaging agents. It has been proposed that such cell cycle checkpoints may allow DNA repair but direct evidence of such activity during the radiation-induced G2 delay has been lacking. We report here that cells arrested in G2 by radiation (2-3 Gy) and etoposide incorporate bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) at discrete foci in the nucleus. We detected G2 cells with CENP-F, a nuclear protein maximally expressed in G2. Caffeine and okadaic acid, both established radiosensitizers, inhibit the incorporation of BrdU in G2 cells. Radioresistant HT29 and OVCAR cells demonstrate BrdU foci formation more frequently during the G2 delay when compared to the more radiosensitive A2780 cell line. The repair foci formed during G2 may be followed through mitosis and observed in daughter cells in G1. Taken together, these observations are consistent with the detection of DNA repair activity during the radiation-induced G2 delay after relatively low doses of radiation.

Abstract
Much attention has recently focused on the observation that UV light can activate the long terminal repeat (LTR) of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although the mechanism of LTR activation remains obscure, several lines of investigation have suggested that it is a result of activation of the NF-kappa B transcription factor(s) following signaling events related to generalized DNA damage. In this report, we present data demonstrating that HIV LTR activation is not a general consequence of cellular DNA damage, but rather a process unique to specific genotoxic stimuli, and that it does not necessarily depend on activation of NF-kappa B. Furthermore, we demonstrate that several of these agents can significantly increase HIV replication and accelerate CD4-positive lymphocyte cytotoxicity in vitro. These findings, therefore, could have clinical significance to AIDS patients with malignancies who are undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Abstract
We have developed a method for purifying DNA fragments containing excision-repair patches which involves incorporation of biotinated deoxyuridine monophosphate into repair patches followed by isolation of biotin-containing DNA fragments using streptavidin and either isopycnic density gradient centrifugation or gel electrophoresis. Normal human fibroblasts were damaged with UV radiation, rendered permeable and allowed to perform repair synthesis in the presence of ATP, dATP, dGTP, [3H]dCTP and biotinated deoxyuridine triphosphate. The DNA was purified, sonicated to a number-average molecular weight of 150 bp, then incubated with streptavidin, a protein with a high affinity for biotin and with a density of 1.3 g/ml in cesium trifluoroacetate compared to 1.6 g/ml for DNA. Isopycnic centrifugation in cesium trifluoroacetate resulted in the separation of the streptavidin-DNA complex with little or no dissociation. The streptavidin-DNA complex was also separated from free DNA by electrophoresis in 2% agarose. This method is applicable to any type DNA damage repaired by the excision repair pathways in which thymine is present in the repair patches, including damage from chemical carcinogens and ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Previous evidence has indicated that either purine starvation or incorporation into DNA may be the dominant biochemical effect of the antileukemic agent 6-thioguanine (TG), depending on exposure conditions. Furthermore, it has been suggested that the paradoxical decrease in TG-induced cytotoxicity at high drug concentrations may be due to an antagonistic interaction between these two mechanisms, in which purine starvation inhibits DNA synthesis and, therefore, incorporation of TG into DNA. In this report we test the hypothesis that by concurrent treatment of L1210 cells with TG and the purine precursor 4-amino-5-imidazolecarboxamide (AIC) it is possible to alleviate DNA synthesis inhibition caused by high concentrations of TG, thus enhancing TG incorporation into DNA and TG-induced cell kill. Both the cytotoxic and cytokinetic results presented support this hypothesis. However, gross incorporation of TG into DNA was not increased by AIC under conditions in which a significant enhancement of cytotoxicity (i.e., 1 log) was observed. These findings suggest that the potentiating effect of AIC may be most prominent on the subpopulation of cells that are resistant to treatment with TG alone, and they demonstrate that the cytotoxic effects of TG treatments are more accurately reflected by observing specific cytokinetic changes (delayed late S/G2 arrest) than by measuring the average extent of TG incorporation into DNA within a given population. Finally, we propose that it may be possible to select conditions for administration of TG that favor one or the other cytotoxic mechanism, depending on whether the clinical objective is induction of remission (where rapid cell lysis due to purine starvation would be desired) or eradication of subclinical disease during remission (where proliferation-dependent cytotoxicity due to DNA incorporation should be more effective.

Abstract
The limited DNA excision repair that occurs in the chromatin of UV-irradiated growth arrested cells isolated from a xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) complementation group C patient is clustered in localized regions. The repaired DNA was found to be more sensitive to nicking by endogenous nucleases than the bulk of the DNA. The extra-sensitivity does not change with increasing amounts of DNA damage or repair activity in the locally-repaired regions and is retained through a 24-h chase period. We suggest that these results are due to the occurrence of DNA repair limited to pre-existing, non-transient chromatin fractions that contain actively transcribed DNA. A similar extra-sensitivity of repaired DNA was not detected in cells of normal or XP complementation group A strains that exhibit either normal or limited repair located randomly throughout their genomes. The association between endogenous nuclease sensitivity and clustered repair probably defines a normal excision repair pathway that is specific for selected chromatin domains. The repair defect in XP-C strains may be one in pathways targeted for other endogenous nuclease-resistant domains.

Abstract
Alternative molecular mechanisms can be envisaged for the cellular repair of UV-damaged DNA. In the "random collision" model, DNA damage distributed throughout the genome is recognised and repaired by a process of random collision between DNA damage and repair enzymes. The other model assumes a "processive" mechanism, whereby DNA is scanned for damage by a repair complex moving steadily along its length. These two models give different predictions concerning the time course of repair. Random collision should result in a declining rate of repair with time as the concentration of lesions in the DNA falls; but the processive model predicts a constant rate of repair until scanning is complete. We have examined the time course of DNA repair in human fibroblasts given low (generally sublethal) doses of UV light. Using 3 distinct assays, we find no sign of a constant repair rate after 4 J/m2 or less, even when the first few hours after irradiation are examined. Thus DNA repair is likely to depend on random collision. The implications of this finding for the structural organisation of repair are discussed.

Abstract
The location in the genome of excision repair following exposure to UV (254 nm) of two XP complementation group A strains, XP12BE and XP8LO, that differ considerably in their excision-repair rates, have been determined. Capacity for repair in XP8LO has also been determined. Sites repaired in DNA in a 24-h post-UV period were located relative to the remaining pyrimidine dimers using the M. luteus UV-endonuclease to nick partially repaired DNA and sedimentation in alkaline sucrose to size the resulting DNA. Repair in group A occurs randomly throughout the genome in a manner similar to that observed for normal cells but in contrast to domain-limited repair in group C strains. This observation defines a further similarity of the excision repair detected in group A compared to normal cells that is in addition to the previously reported related characteristics of the respective excision rate curves. A reduced repair capacity in XP8LO relative to normal cells was detected. This strain, which repairs DNA at an initial rate identical to that of normal strains when irradiated with doses of 5 J/m2 or less, repairs DNA at a slower than normal but constant rate at higher doses. This leads to the suggestion that XP8LO is defective in the number of repair enzyme complexes compared to normal cells.

Abstract
DNA repair in xeroderma pigmentosum complementation groups C and D occurs at a low level. Measurements of pyrimidine dimers remaining in bulk DNA from the whole genome indicated very little excision in either complementation group. The repair sites in group C cells were, however, clustered together in small regions of the genome which appeared to be mended nearly as efficiently as the whole genome is mended in normal cells, while repair in group D cells was randomly distributed. Growth of normal cells in cycloheximide or 3-aminobenzamide neither inhibited repair nor altered the distribution of repair sites. Growth of normal cells in novobiocin or aphidicolin inhibited excision but repair remained randomly distributed. On the basis of these observations, and consideration of other cellular features of group C and D, we suggest that group C may represent a mutation which results in a low level of repair enzymes with normal function. Group D, on the other hand, may represent a mutation resulting in functionally defective repair enzymes.

Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), ataxia telangiectasia (AT), and Cockayne syndrome (CS) are human diseases that exhibit increased sensitivity to environmental carcinogens [e.g., ultraviolet (UV) light, ionizing radiations, chemicals] because of genetic defects in the patient's capacity to repair and replicate damaged DNA accurately. The major defect in XP is a failure to repair UV damage to DNA; in AT, the failure is in repair or replication of double-strand breaks in DNA; in CS, the failure is in recovery of DNA replication after UV irradiation. Cancer is a major clinical feature of XP and AT, but not of CS. Each disease is complex, with multiple groups defined by complementation in cell-cell hybridization. Overlap is reported between some XP and CS groups. UV-sensitive hamster cell mutants are also known: most of these complement XP groups, and a human gene on chromosome 19 can correct the defects in hamster mutants, but not XP. XP group C is distinct from the other groups in exhibiting a strongly clustered mode of repair, as if only certain regions of the genome can be mended. This mode mainly occurs in confluent group C cells under conditions that permit much greater survival than in exponential growth, and therefore represents a more efficient mode of repair. These diseases all represent important examples of perturbation in the way carcinogen damage in DNA is metabolized, and further research aimed at identifying the kinds of molecular changes involved in the malignancy will be important.

Abstract
Biotin-labeled deoxyuridine triphosphate (BiodUTP) has the potential to be a useful affinity probe for studies on DNA repair, if it can be incorporated into DNA repair patches and does not inhibit subsequent steps in the excision repair pathway. We have synthesized BiodUTP by an improved procedure and have used permeable normal human fibroblasts to determine the effect of substituting BiodUTP for thymidine triphosphate on several steps in the excision repair pathway: incision, polymerization, ligation, and nucleosome rearrangement. The results demonstrate that BiodUTP is efficiently incorporated into repair patches and has little or no effect on the repair process. The presence of BiodUMP in ligated repair patches has been used to visualize the repair patches by electron microscopy following incubation with ferritin-labeled avidin. This approach has been used to estimate the maximum size of repair patches induced by ultraviolet radiation.
