Abstract excerpt
dCMP-deaminase-deficient V79/dC hamster cells have highly imbalanced deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) pools, i.e. a 17-fold larger dCTP pool, a slightly reduced dTTP and a very low dGTP pool, compared to dCMP-deaminase-proficient V79/p cells. Nevertheless, the two lines showed the same rates of spontaneous mutation at the hprt and ouabain-resistance loci. Analysis of spontaneous hprt mutations indicated an...
