It is not clear, however, whether DNA repair mechanisms, able to abolish effects due to oxidative damage, are present in mitochondria. APE/Ref-1 is a nuclear protein possessing both redox activity (by which activates, “in vitro”, the DNA-binding functions of several transcription factors) and DNA repair activity over apurinic/apyrimidinic sites. Immunohistochemical evidences indicate that in follicular thyroid cells, APE/Ref-1 is located in both nucleus and cytoplasm. Electronmicroscopy </span>immunocytochemistry<span> performed in the rat thyroid FRTL-5 cell line, indicates that part of the cytoplasmatic APE/Ref-1 is located in mitochondria. The presence of APE/Ref-1 inside mitochondria is further demonstrated by western blot analysis after cell fractionation<span>. In the Kimol cell line (which is derived from FRTL-5, transformed by the Ki-ras oncogene) the amount of mitochondrial APE/Ref-1 is reduced by three to fourfold with respect to the normal FRTL-5 cells. These results suggest that: (i) a machinery capable of repairing DNA damaged by oxidative stress is present in mitochondria and (ii) mtDNA repair mechanisms may be impaired during cell transformation.</span></span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100935,"journal":{"name":"Mutation Research/DNA Repair","volume":"485 2","pages":"Pages 143-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0921-8777(00)00068-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56179548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phytoestrogens are plant compounds which are a major component of traditional Asian diets and which may be protective against certain hormone-dependent cancers (breast and prostate) and against coronary heart disease. They may also be able to function as antioxidants, scavenging potentially harmful free radicals. In this study, the effects of the isoflavonoids (a class of phytoestrogen) genistein<span> and equol on hydrogen peroxide-mediated DNA damage in human lymphocytes were determined using alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis (the comet assay). Treatment with hydrogen peroxide significantly increased the levels of DNA strand<span> breaks. Pre-treatment of the cells with both genistein and equol offered protection against this damage at concentrations within the physiological range. This protection was greater than that offered by addition of the known antioxidant vitamins ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol, or the compounds 17ß-oestradiol and Tamoxifen which have similar structures to isoflavonoids and are known to have weak antioxidant properties. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that phytoestrogens can, under certain conditions, function as antioxidants and protect against oxidatively-induced DNA damage.</span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100935,"journal":{"name":"Mutation Research/DNA Repair","volume":"485 2","pages":"Pages 169-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0921-8777(00)00069-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56179555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This assay was then used in human cells to validate the phenomenon of unscheduled </span>DNA synthesis<span> as a measure of excision repair and to elucidate the first example of a DNA repair disorder, xeroderma pigmentosum<span>. Features of the TCR pathway (that is defective in Cockayne syndrome (CS)) include the possibility of “gratuitous TCR” at transcription pause sites in undamaged DNA.

Therefore, caution should be exercised in the interpretation of results from such systems for risk assessment in genetic toxicology. Many problems in excision repair remain to be solved, including the mechanism of scanning the DNA for lesions and the subcellular localization of the repair factories. Also there are persisting questions regarding the multiple options of repair, recombination, and translesion synthesis when replication forks encounter lesions in the template DNA.

This process requires the UmuD</span>₂′ UmuC complex, only formed to a significant extent in SOS-induced cells. The “two-step” model proposed that there were two steps, insertion of a wrong base (misincorporation) and use of the misincorporated base as a primer for further chain extension (bypass). The original evidence suggested that UmuD₂′ UmuC was needed only for the second step and that in its absence other polymerases such as DNA polymerase III could make misincorporations. Now we know that the UmuD₂<span>′ UmuC complex is DNA polymerase V<span><span> and that it can carry out both steps in vitro and probably does both in vivo in wild-type cells. Even so, DNA polymerase III clearly has an important accessory role in vitro and a possibly essential role in vivo, the precise nature of which is not clear. DNA polymerases II and IV are also up-regulated in SOS-induced cells and their involvement in the broader picture of translesion synthesis is only now beginning to emerge. It is suggested that we need to think of the </span>chromosomal replication factory as a structure through which the DNA passes and within which as many as five DNA polymerases may need to act. Protein–protein interactions may result in a cassette system in which the most appropriate polymerase can be engaged with the DNA at any given time. The original two-step model was very specific, and thus an oversimplification. As a general concept, however, it reflects reality and has been demonstrated in experiments with eukaryotic DNA polymerases in vitro.</span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100935,"journal":{"name":"Mutation Research/DNA Repair","volume":"485 1","pages":"Pages 61-67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0921-8777(00)00074-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56179600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During a scientific ‘Bootsma’ cruise on his sailing-boat ‘de Losbol’, we visit a variety of scenery locations along the lakes and canals in Friesland, passing the highlights of Dirk Bootsma’s scientific oeuvre. Departing from ‘de Fluessen’, his homeport, with his PhD work on the effect of X-rays and UV on cell cycle progression, we head for the pioneering endeavours of his team on mapping genes on </span>human chromosomes<span> by cell hybridization. Next we explore the use of cell hybrids by the Bootsma team culminating in the </span></span>molecular cloning of one of the first chromosomal breakpoints involved in oncogenesis: the </span><em>bcr-abl</em><span><span><span> fusion gene responsible for chronic myelocytic leukemia. This seminal achievement enabled later development of new methods for early detection and very promising therapeutic intervention. A series of highlights at the horizon constitute the contributions of his team to the field of DNA repair, beginning with the discovery of genetic heterogeneity<span> in the repair syndrome xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) followed later by the cloning of a large number of human repair genes. This led to the discovery that DNA repair is strongly conserved in evolution rendering knowledge from yeast relevant for mammals and vice versa. In addition, it resolved the molecular basis of several repair syndromes and permitted functional analysis of the encoded proteins. Another milestone is the discovery of the surprising connection between DNA repair and </span></span>transcription initiation<span> via the dual functional TFIIH complex in collaboration with Jean-Marc Egly et al. in Strasbourg. This provided an explanation for many puzzling clinical features and triggered a novel concept in human genetics: the existence of repair/transcription syndromes. The generation of many mouse mutants carrying defects in repair pathways yielded valuable models for assessing the clinical relevance of DNA repair including carcinogenesis and the identification of a link between DNA damage and premature aging. His team also opened a fascinating area of cell biology with the analysis of repair and transcription in living cells. A final surprising evolutionary twist was the discovery that </span></span>photolyases<span> designed for the light-dependent repair of UV-induced DNA lesions appeared to be adopted for driving the mammalian biological clock<span>. The latter indicates that it is time to return to ‘de Fluessen’, where we will consider briefly the merits of Dirk Bootsma for Dutch science in general.</span></span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":100935,"journal":{"name":"Mutation Research/DNA Repair","volume":"485 1","pages":"Pages 43-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0921-8777(00)00079-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56179649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the new millennium, we have asked three general questions: (A) Do we know all possible strategies of nucleotide excision repair (NER) in all organisms? (B) How is NER integrated and regulated in cells and tissues? (C) Does DNA replication represent a new frontier in the roles of DNA repair? We make some suggestions for the kinds of answers the next generation may provide. The kingdom of archea represents an untapped field for investigation of DNA repair in organisms with extreme lifestyles. NER appears to involve a similar strategy to the other kingdoms of </span>prokaryotes<span><span> and eukaryotes, but subtle differences suggest that individual components of the system may differ. NER appears to be regulated by several major factors, especially p53 and Rb which interact with transcription coupled repair and global genomic repair, respectively. Examples can be found of major regulatory changes in repair in testicular tissue and melanoma cells. Our understanding of replication of damaged DNA has undergone a revolution in recent years, with the discovery of multiple low-fidelity DNA polymerases that facilitate replicative bypass. A secondary mechanism of replication in the absence of NER or of one or more of these polymerases involves </span>sister chromatid exchange and recombination (hMre11/hRad50/Nbs1). The relative importance of bypass and recombination is determined by the action of p53.
