Abstract excerpt
We examined whether strand identity with respect to DNA replication influences strand bias for 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG) mutagenesis. The specificity of 8-oxoG mutagenesis was determined in a mutM mutY or a mutT strain carrying the supF gene on one of two vectors that differed only in the orientation of supF with respect to a unique origin of replication. Most of the supF mutations in the mutM mutY strain...
