    Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which produces breaks in cellular DNA, has not hitherto been shown to cause degradation of DNA. In this investigation it is shown that if transcription is blocked with rifampin, treatment with H2O2 causes degradation of DNA to nearly the same extent as does gamma-radiation. Further, if cells are given a treatment with H2O2 and incubated for 50 min, the amount of degradation in a second treatment is markedly less. This is attributed to the induction of the inhibitor of post-irradiation degradation of DNA (prd) by the first treatment. There is thus a double action of H2O2: first, to induce inhibition, and second, to cause degradation of DNA to begin in non-induced cells. The genetic dependence of induction by H2O2 mimics that of ionizing radiation. Accordingly, the induction process does not occur in recA- and lex- cells, because they are not inducible and is absent in recB- cells because they lack exonuclease V, the major component of prd. Potassium iodide (KI), an OH radical scavenger, negates the action of peroxide on DNA. The results obtained in this study suggest a possible theory for the evolution of radiation response systems
