We show here that the solenoid is maintained by combination of linker histones and nonglobular, highly basic "tails" core histones, which play only a minor part in formation nucleosome (Whitlock Simpson, 1977. J. Biol. Chem. 252:6,516--6,520; Lilley Tatchell, Nucleic Acids Res. 4:2,039--2,055; Whitlock Stein, 1978. 253:3,857--3,861). Polynucleosomes contain devoid tails remain substantially unfolded under conditions otherwise favorable for solenoids. The can be replaced extraneous...

Glutathione S -transferases (GSTs) detoxify potentially mutagenic and toxic DNA-reactive electrophiles, including metabolites of several chemotherapeutic agents, some which are suspected human carcinogens. Functional polymorphisms exist in at least three genes that encode GSTs, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1. We hypothesize, therefore, GSTs alter susceptibility to chemotherapy-induced carcinogenesis, specifically therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML), a devastating complication long-term...

3-methyladenine (3MeA) DNA glycosylases remove 3MeAs from alkylated to initiate the base excision repair pathway. Here we report generation of mice deficient in 3MeA glycosylase encoded by Aag ( Mpg ) gene. Alkyladenine turns out be major not only for cytotoxic lesion, but also mutagenic 1, N 6 -ethenoadenine (ɛA) and hypoxanthine lesions. appears liver, testes, kidney, lung, ɛA kidney; another may expressed lung. Although alkyladenine has capacity 8-oxoguanine lesions, it does appear...

A comprehensive study was undertaken in a rural community the state of Morelos, Mexico to evaluate health education as an intervention measure against Taenia solium. An educational program developed promote recognition and knowledge transmission parasite improve hygienic behavior sanitary conditions that foster transmission. The effects were evaluated by measuring changes practices prevalence human taeniasis swine cysticercosis before after campaign. strategy implemented with active...

Chicken erythrocyte chromatins containing a single species of linker histone, H1 or H5, have been prepared, using reassembly techniques developed previously. The reconstituted complexes possess the conformation native chicken chromatin, as judged by chemical and structural criteria; saturation is reached when two molecules histone are bound per nucleosome, in which resulting material resembles its appearance electron microscope quantitatively linear condensation factor relative to free DNA....
