Immunoglobulins anti-endonuclease 32 kDa from Cucurbita pepo var patissonina affect process of DNA synthesis
1Institute of Biochemistry, Wrocław University, Poland.
Abstract:
Immunoglobulins anti-endonuclease 32 kDa inhibit DNA synthesis. We observed that low concentrations of IgGs (about 50 micrograms IgG per 1 x 10(6) cell nuclei) temporary inhibit DNA synthesis. This inhibition concerns only the synthesis of DNA bound to the nuclear matrix (associated with isolated nuclear matrix). Preincubation of cell nuclei of White bush with IgG generates longer DNA fragments than in controls. Involvement of the 32 kDa endonuclease or an endonuclease-65 kDa protein complex from the nuclear matrix in replication or structural organisation of replication is considered.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
