Abstract excerpt
The formation of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (G(O), 8-hydroxyguanine) in DNA and in the nucleotide pool results in G:C→T:A and A:T→C:G substitution mutations, respectively, since G(O) can pair with both C and A. In this study, the role of DNA polymerase κ in the mutagenicity of G(O) was investigated, using a supF shuttle plasmid propagated in human U2OS cells. This translesion synthesis DNA polymerase was knocked...
