Abstract excerpt
Pierisin-1, an ADP-ribosylating toxin derived from the cabbage butterfly, Pieris rapae, induces apoptosis in various mammalian cell lines. We recently reported that the target for ADP ribosylation by pierisin-1 is the 2'-deoxyguanosine residue in DNA. To examine whether pierisin-1 would induce mutations in mammalian cell genes, we conducted a mutational analysis for the hypoxanthine-guanine...
