Effects of ATP and other nucleotides on DNA repair synthesis in bleomycin-pretreated permeable mouse sarcoma cells

Abstract
Effects of ATP and some other nucleotides (AMP, ADP, CTP, GTP, UTP and dATP) on reparative DNA synthesis and repair patch ligation in bleomycin-pretreated permeable mouse sarcoma cells were studied. Reparative DNA synthesis was significantly stimulated by 2.5 mM ATP, ADP or dATP. The stimulation was observed on both DNA polymerase α- and β-dependent reparative DNA synthesis. ATP concentration required for repair patch ligation was much lower than that required for the stimulation of reparative DNA synthesis. An apparent K m value for ATP of the repair patch ligation was about 40 μM. ADP supported repair patch ligation after being converted into ATP by adenylate kinase in permeable cells.
