title: Proliferation-dependent regulation of DNA glycosylases in progeroid cells.
abstract: The regulation of the base excision repair enzymes uracil DNA glycosylase and hypoxanthine DNA glycosylase was examined in 2 different progeroid cell strains. The immunoreactivity of the uracil DNA glycosylase in progeroid cells was examined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and by immunoblot analysis. The enzyme was recognized in a quantitative manner by 2 different anti-human uracil DNA glycosylase monoclonal antibodies in the ELISA. Western blot analysis identified a glycosylase protein of Mr = 37,000. In randomly proliferating progeroid cells, the uracil DNA glycosylase was enhanced 3-fold during cell growth. In synchronous cells, uracil DNA glycosylase and hypoxanthine DNA glycosylase were induced with an extent of induction (5-6-fold) comparable to that observed for normal human cells. Further, the activity of each base excision repair enzyme was enhanced with a comparable temporal sequence prior to the induction of DNA synthesis and DNA polymerase activity. These results indicate a normal cell cycle regulation of base excision repair in progeroid cells.
