Relationship of postirradiation repair processes to the protein synthesis and synthesis of DNA
From international conference on the bases of the biological effects of ultraviolet radiation; Brno, Czechoslovakia (2 Oct Amino acid starvation or other inhibitions of protein synthesis prior to uv-irradiation of Lactobacillus acidophilus resulted in a shoulder on the dose-effect curve. The appearance of this shoulder was prevented, if together with the inhibition of protein synthesis DNA synthesis was also inhibited. On the contrary, amino acid starvation post irradiation resulted in no shoulder, but the shoulder resulted, if both protein synthesis and DNA synthesis were inhibited after irradiation. On the basis of these results, a temporary lag of DNA after uv irradiation is considered to be an important condition allowing the repair to take place. (auth)
