Resumen
1. 1. When randomly-growing cultures of L cells are irradiated with 1000-3000 rads of X-rays, DNA synthesis continues for a time, stops briefly, and is then resumed. The timing of these events depends on the dose of X-rays. 2. 2. The DNA polymerase (deoxynucleosidetriphosphate: DNA nucleotidyl-transferase, EC 2.7.7.7) activity of extracts made from cells irradiated in this way reaches a minimum when DNA synthesis is stopped. 3. 3. When synchronized cultures of L-cells are irradiated with X-rays, DNA synthesis and cell division are delayed. 4. 4. The decrease in the activity of DNA polymerase normally seen in extracts of cells engaged in active DNA synthesis is also delayed by the irradiation. These effects are dependent on the dose and also on the time when the dose is administered.
