Disease relevance of mus201

 

High impact information on mus201

  • That protein restores both excision repair and UV resistance to mei-9 and mus201 mutants of this organism [1].
  • With oocytes deficient for XPG (DmXPG), frequencies were enhanced up to 50 times [3].
  • MEC induced 64% deletions and other DNA rearrangements in crosses of males with DmXPG females [3].
  • Inactivation of NER had no potentiating effect on clastogenic events (chromosome loss) induced by CEA, which is in sharp contrast to the strongly enhanced forward mutation frequencies measured with DmXPG females [3].
  • When exr+ males, after exposure to DBE, were mated to excision repair deficient (exr-) mus 201 females 11 of 14 mutational events isolated from either F1 or F2 progeny were single bp changes [4].
 

Biological context of mus201

  • XPG(Dm) is encoded by the mus201 gene; we found frameshift mutations predicted to produce truncated XPG(Dm) proteins in each of two mus201 alleles [5].
  • The absence of a potentiating effect of mus201 on EO-induced clastogenicity suggests the formation of clastogenic DNA lesions not causing point mutations, and which are not repaired by NER [6].
  • The pattern of EO-induced ring chromosome loss (CL) differed in two respects from that observed for forward mutations: (a) an increase in CL frequencies was observed only at the two highest EO exposure levels, and (b) inactivation of the NER pathway by the mus201 mutant had no measurable effect on the occurrence of CL [6].
  • In this article, we study the consequences, with the w(i) assay, of the introduction of two mutations, mus201 and mei-41, which produce deficiency in two different repair mechanisms: the nucleotide excision repair system and in a G2/M cell-cycle checkpoint, respectively [7].
  • Comparison of excision repair-deficient mei-9a and mus201 females in the test for paternal sex chromosome loss in drosophila with procarbazine and diethylnitrosamine (DEN) [8].
 

Anatomical context of mus201

  • The causes of the discrepancy between the extraordinarily high activity of MEC in mus201 somatic cells and its low potentiating effect in germ cells is unknown at present [9].
  • These established cell lines can therefore be used as appropriate models for both the examination of the biochemical basis of the genetic defects in the mei-9 and mus201 mutations and the role of excision-repair processes in spontaneous and induced mutation induction in eukaryotic cells [10].
 

Associations of mus201 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of mus201

  • We report here the identification of the genes encoding the XPG and ERCC1 homologues (XPG(Dm) and ERCC1(Dm)) [5].
  • Cells derived from two nonallelic excision-defective mutants (mei-9 and mus201) exhibit the same quantitative decline in both phenomena as do control cells [15].
  • The hypermutability indices obtained were 2.59 for mus201 and 0.52 for mus308 conditions [16].
