ISSN: 1432-0886Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyMedicineNotes: Abstract Human metaphase chromosomes, substituted with 5′-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) for one, two or three rounds of replication, were briefly pretreated with ultraviolet light (UV), in the presence of 33258 Hoechst, and subsequently digested with either exonuclease III or S1 nuclease. Pretreatment alone was not sufficient to induce sister chromatid differential staining (SCD), but allowed subsequent digestion with exonuclease III or S1. Such enzymes were found to induce SCD with ethidium bromide, as unifilarly BrdUrd-substituted chromatids (TB) were more resistant than bifilarly substituted chromatids (BB). Other experiments with DNase I or the AluI and HaeIII restriction endonucleases showed that only HaeIII was capable of inducing SCD by attacking BB more than TB chromatids preincubated with UV in the presence of Hoechst. SCD with exonuclease III/S1 nuclease seems to be due to (1) UV-induced DNA debromination occurring twice in BB as opposed to TB chromatids, and (2) alteration of chromatin protein structure occurring to a different extent in differently BrdUrd-substituted chromatids. Our findings with endonucleases, on the contrary, may depend on the capacity of enzymatic cleavage to cancel the different protein alterations induced differentially by UV in TB as opposed to BB chromatids.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1989Staff ViewISSN: 1432-0886Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000Topics: BiologyMedicineNotes: Abstract Fixed human metaphase chromosomes, whose DNA had been substituted with 5′-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdUrd) for two rounds of replication (TB/BB) or for one round in BrdUrd followed by another round in thymidine (TT/BT), were treated with ultraviolet light (UV), in the presence or in the absence of 33258 Hoechst, to produce sister chromatid differentiation (SCD). Giemsa staining was compared with staining with monoclonal antibodies to double-stranded or single-stranded DNA. We confirmed that UV acts by debrominating BrdUrd-stubstituted DNA but showed that debromination alone cannot explain all our findings. We postulated that UV-induced protein-protein cross-linking, occurring to a different extent in differently BrdUrd-substituted chromatids, may also be invoked in explaining our data. Lastly, the different behaviour of unifilarly substituted TB as opposed to BT chromatids in UV-treated chromosomes, allowed us to hypothesize that such chromatids may differ depending on whether or not newly synthesized DNA is formed on a BrdUrd-containing strand.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Untreated chromosomes and chromosomes treated with UV radiation after previous staining with 33258 Hoechst as photosensitizer were studied in order to investigate the mechanism(s) responsible for BrdU-induced sister chromatid differentiation (SCD). Metaphases were prepared by (1) standard methanol—acetic acid fixative for subsequent investigation with Giemsa or DNA-specific dyes such as ethidium bromide, acridine orange and monoclonal antibodies to double-or single-stranded DNA; (2) the procedure for observation under phase-contrast or electron microscopy; and (3) the cytospin method for subsequent immunoreaction with a monoclonal antibody to histone H2B. Our data exclude the possibility that the presence/absence of BrdU in the template strand might affect chromatin organization and thus resistance, while confirming that UV-induced DNA alteration is not sufficient, by itself, to explain SCD mechanism(s). That molecules other than DNA play a role in explaining SCD production is indicated by the fact that BrdU incorporation induces alterations in DNA—histone H2B interactions which, in turn, seem to produce structural variations in chromatin, possibly at the level of condensation, as monitored by phase-contrast and electron microscopy.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -
