Abstract excerpt
Adozelesin is a synthetic analog of the antitumor antibiotic, CC-1065, which alkylates N3 of adenine in the minor DNA groove in a sequence-specific manner. Here we tested the mutation spectra induced by adozelesin in the supF gene of human XP-A fibroblasts using a shuttle vector assay. Adozelesin primarily induces mutations via an A --> T transversion and a single base insertion. The A --> T transversion (43/59)...
