Abstract
Human retinoblastoma cells were proven to possess some very unusual DNApolβ species. Being 23.5 kDa monomers, which itself is not common for the DNApolβ superfamily members, these chromatin associated proteins manifests most of the DNApolβ-specifc functional peculiarities making them legitimate targets for DNA repair cytostatic inhibitors. Particularly, these tumor specific enzymes were found to be very sensitive to25Mg2+-,43Ca2+- and67Zn2+-promoted magnetic isotope effects (MIE) caused a marked DNA sequence growth limitation as well as a formation of the size-invalid, i.e. too short in length, DNA fragments, totally inappropriate for the DNA repair purpose. This MIE-DNApolβ match may serve a starting point for further move towards the paramagnetic path in current developments of anti-cancer strategies.
