摘要

Sulphydryl-mediated DNA breakage, which is induced by the antibiotic phleomycin in vitro, has been found to contribute significantly to the DNA damage produced by phleomycin in Escherichia coli. The effect of pleomycin was inhibited in vivo, as in vitro, by chelating agents, sulphydryl blocking agents and antioxidants. An increase in the intracellular concentration of free sulphydryl resulted in an increased response to phleomycin, while mutants containing very low levels of free sulphydryl due to a defect in glutathione synthesis showed greatly reduced DNA breakage, particularly at low phleomycin concentrations. In spheroplasts of these gshA mutants, restoration of the response to phleomycin of dithiothreitol. Sulphydryl-mediated breakage appears to be the principal mechanism for DNA damage in E. coli at libly enzymic, operates at higher phleomycin concentrations.
