Revised Manuscript Received April 27, 1992 abstract: The studies that document the coupling of strand-specific DNA repair to transcription of active genes exclude replicated DNA from theanalysis. Yet cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) induced by ultraviolet light (UV) persist in most of the genome in surviving Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The mechanisms that allow DNA replication to occur in the presence of damaged templates are poorly understood. We have investigated the distribution of CPD in the dihydrofolate reductase gene (DHFR) domain in replicated DNA. CHO Bll cells were incubated in the presence of BrdUrd after UV irradiation; the replicated DNA was separated from the unreplicated DNA by isopycnic sedimentation in CsCl, and then the parental and daughter strands were resolved in alkaline CsCl. We determined the fraction of a 14-kb Kpn\fragment of the DHFR gene that was resistant to digestion by T4 endonuclease V, a CPD-specific enzyme. In both parental and unreplicated DNA,~ 80% of the CPD were removed from the transcribed strands while~ 20% were removed from the nontranscribed strands of DHFR within 24 h. In a 15-kb Kpnl fragment that contains an origin of replication and is located—15 kb downstream of DHFR, we found very low repair levels, whether it had been replicated or not. We detected no CPD in the daughter strands of either fragment analyzed. These results suggest that the replication forks can move through the damaged DNA in the absence of significant levels of repair or strand exchange and that the repair of CPD is not affected by replication in these cells.The irradiation of cells with ultraviolet light (Uv)* 1 produces lesions in their DNA which have been shown totransiently inhibit replication. The primary lesions produced by moderate doses of UV (254 nm) are cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD); other, less frequent lesions include 6-4 pyrimidine-pyrimidone photoproducts [(6, 4) PP] and oxidation products such as thymine glycols.
