G. Banfalvi et al., RELATIONSHIP OF REPAIR AND REPLICATIVE DNA-SYNTHESIS TO CELL-CYCLE INCHINESE-HAMSTER OVARY (CHO-K1) CELLS, DNA and cell biology, 16(10), 1997, pp. 1155-1160
To strengthen the causal association between repair and replicative DN
A synthesis, we have simultaneously measured the two types of DNA synt
hesis in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Synchrony was obtained by coun
terflow centrifugal elutriation of logarithmic-phase Chinese hamster o
vary (CHO) cells kept in suspension cultures. A comparison of cell cyc
le profiles of ATP-dependent replicative and ATP-independent repair sy
nthesis in permeable cells shows opposite trends. The rates of repair
synthesis and replication are inversely correlated.
