Abstract excerpt
Acetyl CoA:arylamine N-acetyltransferase (NAT; E.C. 2.3.1.5) enzymes play a key role in the metabolic activation of aromatic amine and nitroaromatic mutagens to electrophilic reactive intermediates. We have developed a system in which the activation of mutagens by recombinant human NAT2, expressed in Escherichia coli, can be detected by the appearance of Lac+ revertants. The mutagenesis assay is based on the...
