Abstract excerpt
In the absence of nucleotide excision repair, the additional deficiency of the DNA alkyltransferase (ATase) encoded by the constitutive ogt gene of Escherichia coli caused a marked increment in mutation induction by N-propyl-N-nitrosourea (PNU). Irrespective of the presence or the absence of the Ogt ATase, little mutagenic response was detected in Uvr+ bacteria in the concentration range 0-8 mM PNU, indicating...
