DNA damage and repair in response to ultraviolet light (UV) or furocoumarin photoadducts were studied in cultured primate cells. First, the sensitivity to digestion by the enzyme staphylococcal nuclease (SN) of repair patches synthesized in response to damage by UV or the angular furocoumarin angelicin was examined in human cells. Second, excision repair was examined in the 172 base pair highly repeated alpha DNA sequence in African green monkey cells. Excision repair after treatment of cells with UV was the same in alpha DNA as in the bulk of the genome. However repair of furocoumarin photoadducts was only about 30% as great in alpha DNA as in the bulk of the genome, even through the initial amount of damage, the time course of excision repair, and the excision repair patch size were all indistinguishable for the two DNA species.
