Bypass Replication of the Cisplatin-d(GpG) Lesion by Calf Thymus DNA Polymerase β and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type I Reverse Transcriptase Is Highly Mutagenic
1 Jun 1996
Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic DNA polymerase beta and the reverse transcriptases are the most inaccurate of the known DNA polymerases. We report here mutagenic replication in vitro past intrastrand N(7)G-N(7)G chelates of the cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), the major DNA adduct of the antitumor agent cisplatin by calf thymus DNA polymerase beta and human immunodeficiency virus type I reverse transcriptase (42% and 26% mutations,...
