Abstract excerpt
To determine the influence of DNA repair by Ogt alkyltransferase on the distribution of alkylnitrosourea-induced mutations, we have analysed in Ogt-proficient and Ogt-deficient bacterial strains the DNA sequence changes of a total of 357 independent mutations occurring within the initial part of the lacl gene of Escherichia coli. The majority (>80%) of mutations induced by either N-ethyl-N nitrosourea (ENU) or...
