| Abstract | Thymidine dinucleotide (pTpT) stimulates melanogenesis in mammalian pigment cells and intact skin, mimicking the effects of UV irradiation and UV-mimetic DNA damage. Here it is shown that, in addition to tanning, pTpT induces a second photoprotective response, enhanced repair of UV-induced DNA damage. This enhanced repair results in a 2-fold increase in expression of a UV-damaged chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression vector transfected into pTpT-treated skin fibroblasts and keratinocytes, compared with diluent-treated cells. Direct measurement of thymine dimers and (6-4) photoproducts by immunoassay demonstrates faster repair of both of these UV-induced photoproducts in pTpT-treated fibroblasts. This enhanced repair capacity also improves cell survival and colony-forming ability after irradiation. These effects of pTpT are accomplished, at least in part, by the up-regulation of a set of genes involved in DNA repair (ERCC3 and GADD45) and cell cycle inhibition (SDI1). At least two of these genes (GADD45 and SDI1) are known to be transcriptionally regulated by the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Here we show that pTpT activates p53, leading to nuclear accumulation of this protein, and also increases the specific binding of this transcription factor to its DNA consensus sequence. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
