Proteins recognizing and binding to damaged DNA (DDB-proteins) were analyzed in human lymphocytes obtained from healthy donors. Using an electrophoretic mobility shift assay several complexes between nuclear extract proteins and damaged DNA were detected: a complex specific for DNA damaged by N-acetoxy-N-acetylaminofluorene, another complex specific for UV-irradiated DNA, and two complexes specific for DNA damaged by cis-dichlorodiammine platinum. All the detected complexes differed in electrophoretic mobility and possibly contained different proteins. Complexes specific for free DNA ends were also detected in protein extracts from lymphocytes.
