Abstract excerpt
Derivatives of E. coli WP2s (uvrA trpE) defective in 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-OG) DNA glycosylase activity (mutM), MutY glycosylase activity on an A:8-OG mispair (mutY), and/or an adaptive response to oxidative stress by superoxide (soxRS) were constructed to compare the mutability to various reactive oxygen-generating compounds. Induction of Trp+ reversion was assayed both in the presence and absence of...
