Abstract
The effect of 3-aminobenzamide (3AB), an inhibitor of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, on DNA-repair processes has been investigated after treating V79 hamster cells with methyl methanesulphonate (MMS). Repair activity was observed as changes in DNA-strand break levels. MMS induces transient strand breaks, the level of which slowly decreases with time. Addition of 3AB leads to a rapid increase in the number of breaks. The level of breaks increases linearly with time until it suddenly levels off. Increasing the concentration of 3AB does not change the slope of this curve, but the steady-state level of breaks increases.
The incision-rejoining kinetics indicates that 3AB induces a delay in the strand-break rejoining process. In the absence of 3AB the breaks have a lifetime of 1–2 min and this is increased by a factor of 5 in the presence of 5 mM 3AB.
