Аннотация:UV-induced DNA degradation was studied in mycellial cells of Aspergillus nidulans wild type and several uvs mutants. It was shown to be an enzymatic specific process which possibly reflects the excision of pyrimidine dimers from UV-damaged DNA. Inhibition of DNA degradation by caffeine and 2,4-dinitrophenol shows the connection between degradation and repair of DNA. Two ways of DNA degradation were found in A. nidulans cells, one of them being glucose dependent and the other–glucose independent. The dependence of DNA degradation on protein synthesis before and after UV-irradiation was demonstrated. The scheme of ways of DNA degradation and its genetic control were suggested on the basis of uvs mutations effect on UV-induced DNA degradation.
