Abstract

Insertion of a 12-nucleotide repeat in c-myb gene exon 9 was observed in about 15% of sporadic bovine T-lymphomas. The 12-nucleotide repeat in the T-lymphoma cells showed deletion and insertion of the repeat units during cultivation of the cells. To know whether deficiency in DNA loop repair is involved in the instability of the repeat, abilities to bind and correct the loop structure in nuclear extracts were examined. The nuclear extracts of all examined cells had ability to bind and correct the loop structure. These data suggest that instability of the 12-nucleotide repeat in bovine T-lymphoma cells might be independent of deficiency of DNA loop repair function.
