Radiation effects on DNA synthesis in a defined chromosomal replicon

Abstract
It has recently been shown that the tumor suppressor p53 mediates a signal transduction pathway that responds to DNA damage by arresting cells in the late G1 period of the cell cycle. However, the operation of this pathway alone cannot explain the 50% reduction in the rate of DNA synthesis that occurs within 30 min of irradiation of an asynchronous cell population. We are using the amplified dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) domain in the methotrexate-resistant CHO cell line, CHOC 400, as a model replicon in which to study this acute radiation effect. We first show that the CHOC 400 cell line retains the classical acute-phase response but does not display the late G1 arrest that characterizes the p53-mediated checkpoint. Using a two-dimensional gel replicon-mapping method, we then show that when asynchronous cultures are irradiated with 900 cGy, initiation in the DHFR locus is completely inhibited within 30 min and does not resume for 3 to 4 h. Since initiation in this locus occurs throughout the first 2 h of the S period, this result implies the existence of a p53-independent S-phase damage-sensing pathway that functions at the level of individual origins. Results obtained with the replication inhibitor mimosine define a position near the G1/S boundary beyond which cells are unable to prevent initiation at early-firing origins in response to irradiation. This is the first direct demonstration at a defined chromosomal origin that radiation quantitatively down-regulates initiation.
