Ionizing radiation is a ubiquitous environmental hazard. In order to be able to evaluate the risWbenefit ratio of exposure from diagnostic, therapeutic, or occupational sources of radiation, it is essential to be able to assess the biological consequences of radiation damage. Ionizing radiation produces a variety of effects in DNA including single and double strand breaks, alkali labile lesions, both DNA-DNA and DNA-protein crosslink, as well as damages to the purine and pyrimidine bases and deoxyribose sugars [for review see Ward, 19751. The primary criterion for establishing these categories has been the particular measurement used to quantitate the damage. Base damages are the preponderant lesion produced [for a review see Cerutti, 19761 and are in addition included in the other above mentioned categories. That is, an alkali labile damage can result from damage to a base, sugar, or both. A single or double strand break can be adjacent to a damaged sugar or base. Thus, the broad categories described above can be further subdivided into classes which can be differentiated by the particular base or sugar lesion associated with it. A large body of literature has established that ionizing radiation is lethal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic; however, the assessment of the biological consequences of particular DNA lesions produced by ionizing radiation is extremely difficult because at biologically significant doses each unique damage is produced in low yields against a background of the other lesions. This problem is compounded by the fact that very few assays are available for quantitating particular base damages. Our approach to this problem has been to develop methods to quantitate particular lesions and to assess their biological consequences by measuring the biological activity of phage transfecting DNA. Further, we have isolated enzymes that recognize specific DNA damages from organisms that are well characterized genetically so that we can ultimately assign a gene to the enzyme product isolated and evaluate its role in in vivo repair processes.
