Abstract
Changes in DNA after heating of human cells at 43.5 and 44 degrees C were found for the first time by means of sedimentation in an alkaline sucrose gradient. These changes are probably mainly determined by three processes: the appearance in DNA of alkali-labile bonds, the formation of stable DNA--protein complexes, and changes in the superstructure of the DNA, in particular partial unfolding of the nucleosomes. The existence of a mechanism for nonexcision repair of thermal lesions in DNA by an enzyme ("repurinase") catalyzing the formation of a glycoside bond between the base of a purine precursor of DNA and the deoxyribose residue of an apurine component is suggested.
