Abstract excerpt
The oxidation product of guanine, 8-oxoguanine, is a major lesion formed in DNA by intracellular metabolism, ionizing radiation, and tobacco smoke. Using a recently developed method for the quantitative analysis of translesion replication, we have studied the bypass of 8-oxoguanine in vivo by transfecting human cells with a gapped plasmid carrying a site-specific 8-oxoguanine in the ssDNA region. The efficiency...
