Abstract excerpt
Experiments were designed to test whether the inhibition of DNA synthesis in Chinese hamster V79 cells would result in increased mutagenesis by a mechanism similar to "SOS repair" in E. coli. Treatment of cells for 16 hours with excess of the deoxynucleosides TdR, UdR, AdR and GdR was mutagenic, whereas treatment with hydroxyurea demonstrated no mutagenic effect. The mutagenicity of TdR could be reversed by the...
