✦ Synopsis

Problems and Paradigms presents discussions and hypotheses of unsolved problems andpuzzles in biology. Two contributors are presented here. In the first, David T. Denhardt and Jacek Kowalski chart a possible relationship between DNA damage and an induced response to that damage in mammalian cells. In the second, T . Cavalier-Smith discusses a possible solution to a major evolutionary question, the origin of the eukaryotic nucleus.

## Abstract DNA damage by agents crosslinking the strands presents a formidable challenge to the cell to repair for survival and to repair accurately for maintenance of genetic information. It appears that repair of DNA crosslinks occurs in a path involving double strand breaks (DSBs) in the DNA. M

A vital process in maintaining a low genetic error rate is the removal of mismatched bases in DNA. The importance of this process in E. coli is demonstrated by the 100-1000 fold increase in mutation frequency observed in cells deficient in this repair system"'.

## Abstract Interstrand cross‐links (ICLs) are among the most cytotoxic DNA lesions to cells because they prevent the two DNA strands from separating, thereby precluding replication and transcription. Even though chemotherapeutic cross‐linking agents are well established in clinical use, and numero
