Mutagenicity of mercury chloride and mechanisms of cellular defence: the role of metal-binding proteins.

Mutagenesis - 1 Nov 2000

Schurz F, Sabater-Vilar M, Fink-Gremmels J

Abstract excerpt

The mechanisms of toxicity and, particularly, the potential carcinogenicity of inorganic mercury are still under debate. Results of mutagenicity and genotoxicity testing with mercury have been inconsistent: mercury induces DNA single-strand breaks at low concentrations in mammalian cells but has not proved mutagenic in several bacterial mutagenicity assays. We investigated the mutagenicity of subtoxic...
