DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The mechanisms by which complex lesions, particularly interstrand cross-links (ICLs), are removed or repaired in mammalian cells are poorly understood despite the importance to human health of compounds that induce these lesions. These agents, present in foodstuffs and produced as byproducts of mammalian metabolism, are highly toxic and mutagenic. Conversely, some of these drugs are also employed as highly active anti-tumor agents. The long term objectives of this application, involving four highly integrated projects and three cores, aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of repair of ICLs with the anticipation that the knowledge gained from these studies will be of significant value to understanding both the etiology of tumorigenesis and the enhancement of chemotherapeutic regimens. This proposed dissection of the mechanisms of ICL repair will encompass both mutagenic and non-mutagenic pathways, as well as the complete process of repair from lesion recognition to the final stages of restoration of helical integrity. Biochemical, molecular, and genetic approaches will be employed to elucidate of [sic] the mechanistic details of the multiple pathways of ICL repair. In addition, another objective of this application is to explore potential uses of ICL inducing compounds as a methodology to enhance recombination and mutagenesis in mammalian cells. Specifically, the use of triplex technology will be employed to direct ICLs to a particular genetic target. These approaches have excellent potential to yield useful technical and therapeutic advances in genetic manipulation.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管诱导这些病变的化合物对人类健康很重要，但对哺乳动物细胞中去除或修复复杂病变（特别是链间交联（ICL））的机制了解甚少。这些物质存在于食品中，作为哺乳动物代谢的副产品产生，具有高度毒性和致突变性。相反，这些药物中的一些也被用作高活性抗肿瘤剂。本申请的长期目标，涉及四个高度集成的项目和三个核心，旨在阐明ICL修复的分子机制，预期从这些研究中获得的知识将对理解肿瘤发生的病因学和增强化疗方案具有重要价值。ICL修复机制的拟议解剖将包括诱变和非诱变途径，以及从损伤识别到螺旋完整性恢复的最后阶段的完整修复过程。生物化学、分子和遗传学方法将被用来阐明ICL修复的多种途径的机制细节。此外，本申请的另一个目的是探索ICL诱导化合物作为增强哺乳动物细胞中重组和诱变的方法的潜在用途。具体而言，将采用三链体技术将ICL导向特定的遗传靶标。这些方法在基因操作方面具有很好的潜力，可以产生有用的技术和治疗进展。
