2. X-RAY SCANNING OF MAIL AND BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS
Before anthrax was discovered in the mail, I was asked by the NIH Deputy
Director for Intramural Research to try to determine if x-ray scanning of
the mail might have a damaging effect on biological specimens shipped to
NIH labs. This procedure has been instituted in response to the security
threat. I contacted several NIH officials and researchers and gathered the
following information.
The NIH Chief Radiation Safety Officer indicated that the possibility that
the x-ray machine used to examine the mail could actually destroy or
sterilize the mail or damage shipped biological specimens was extremely
remote. Such a machine is designed to convey the needed information on
content of the mail but deliver the lowest dose possible to the mail and
the operators. The x-ray dose is between 0.07 and 0.16 mrem per inspected
object. This would be consistent with the objective of not fogging film in
cameras, etc. This is an exceptionally low dose and should not do any
damage to specimens.
By comparison, on the ground background radiation to all organs except the
lung (radon) is on the order of 0.3 mrem per day. In the air, the average
additional background dose from cosmic rays during a 5 hour plane trip is
3 mrem or about 19 times the highest dose delivered by the x-ray scanner.
X- or gamma ray devices for sterilization are extremely high intensity
sources which need to deliver 10's of thousands of rads to the object
being sterilized. Bacterial spores, for example, would be even more
resistant, as they are a relatively simple organism. If the mail is to be
treated with this high intensity radiation, procedures will have to be
developed to permit shipping of living biological specimens.

4.7 POST-DOCTORAL POSITION - DNA REPAIR GROUP -LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL
LABORATORY, CA
The major apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease/3 -repair diesterase in
mammals is Ape1. This enzyme initiates repair of abasic lesions and DNA
strand breaks harboring 3 -oxidative damages (e.g. 3 -phosphates and 3
-phosphoglycolates) by incising immediately 5 to the AP site or by
excising 3 -blocking groups directly. Other proteins of BER act in concert
to complete the repair process and preserve genome integrity. Ape1 also
regulates (through an independent "Ref-1" function) the DNA binding
activities of several transcriptional regulators, most notably p53, AP-1
and NF-kB, and in this capacity, may operate as a key factor in cellular
oxidation/reduction (redox) stress responses.
The open post-doctoral position entails defining the contributions of
Ape1's nuclease and redox functions to specific cellular attributes by
overexpressing selectively-inactivating mutant proteins and by creating a
null cell line. Experience in mammalian cell culture/biology is essential.

Characterization of DNA repair complex involved in NHEJ, reconstitution of
DNA end rejoining in vitro, understanding the role of DNA dependent

phosphorylation sites.
2. Functions of Homologous Recombination in DSB repair. Research to
determine the roles of human Rad51 homologs in DNA dsb repair, delineating
the potential functional relationship between homologous recombination and
DNA nonhomologous end joining in radiation-induced dsb repair, effect of
HR in genome instability.
