[Activity of topoisomerase I and endonucleases in cells transfected by a ras oncogene].
Activities of nuclear endonucleases and topoisomerase I were measured in rat fibroblasts which were at the stages of tumor transformation: control embryonal fibroblasts--CEF; cells immortalised by transfection of S1A segment of SA7 adenovirus--REF-1; intermedius cells transfected once by EJras oncogene--REF-1EJ; and cells transformed after the second transfection by the same oncogene--REF-2EJ. The topoisomerase I and Ca2+, Mg2+-dependent endonuclease was most decreased at the stage of immortalised cells, and the intermedius stage (REF-1EJ) was characterized by the lower activity of Ca2+, Mg2+-dependent endonuclease. The highest activity of Mn2+-dependent endonuclease is seen in REF-2EJ cells. In model experiments the ability of Ca2+, Mg2+-dependent endonuclease to split non-stochastically the EJras oncogene inserted into pBR322 plasmid was shown. The role of the investigated enzymes in the restriction of plasmid integration, cellular immortalisation and recombination of plasmids with chromosomes during cell transformation is discussed.
