Possible involvement of a 72-kDa polypeptide in nucleotide excision repair of Chlorella pyrenoidosa identified by affinity adsorption and repair synthesis assay

INFLUENCE OF ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ON THE EXPRESSION OF PROLIFERATING CELL NUCLEAR ANTIGEN AND DNA POLYMERASE α IN SKELETONEMA COSTATUM (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE)1

“…In marine environments, UV radiation routinely causes DNA damage to phytoplankton cells, and the existence of DNA repair mechanisms has been demonstrated on several occasions (Hsu et al 2000, Boelen et al 2001, Buma et al 2001). However, it is still unclear how PCNA and DNA polymerase α participate in DNA repair in unicellular algae.…”
