Abstract excerpt
N-Ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) forms several major adducts upon reaction with DNA, of which ethylation at the O6 position of guanine and the O4, O2 and N3 positions of thymine have been implicated to be mutagenic lesions. To investigate what specific kinds of ENU-induced mutations were affected by the repair ability of O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT), we examined the mutations in the hypoxanthine...
