Abstract excerpt
The expression of the DNA repair protein human O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) in Escherichia coli strains GWR109 or TRG8 that lack endogenous AGT greatly increased the toxicity and mutagenicity of 1,2-dibromoethane (DBE). Pretreatment of strain TRG8 expressing human AGT, which is permeable to exogenous drugs, with the AGT inhibitor O(6)-benzylguanine (BG) abolished the lethal and mutagenic effects...
