Expression of Escherichia coli uvr genes in mammalian cells. Progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6598661
The goal was to determine if Escherichia coli uvr genes could be expressed in repair deficient mammalian cells (Xeroderma pigmentosum). Progress is reported in the following areas: (1) ATPase activity was assessed in which the release of labelled orthophosphate from ..gamma..-(/sup 32/P)-ATP is effected by damaged DNA and the uvrB protein; (2) the binding of the uvrA protein to damaged DNA was tested; and (3) a double uvrA and uvrC vector was engineered with gpt and the gpt/sup +/ clones isolated. 2 references, 2 figures.
