The repair-associated geneXRCC1was previously cloned by complementing the hamster mutant EM9, which has a high rate of spontaneous SCE and hypersensitivity to DNA damaging agents. In analyzingXRCC1gene expression, similar levels of steady-state mRNA were found in normal cells, Bloom's syndrome cells with altered SCE, and in squamous carcinoma cells with differential X-ray sensitivity. AnEcoRI restriction fragment-length polymorphism previously identified inXRCC1did not correlate with the repair phenotypes of these cells. The mRNA ofXRCC1decreased to 20–40% after treatment of cells with a DNA damaging agent.XRCC1also showed tissue specific expression in rats. The mRNA levels were high in testis (7–8 fold), ovary (3–4 fold) and brain (4–5 fold), when compared with those in intestine, liver and spleen (1–2 fold). These data and the high levels ofXRCC1protein detected in testis indicate thatXRCC1may play an important role in DNA processing during meiogenesis and recombination in germ cells.
