Mutation frequencies and spectra in DNA polymerase eta-deficient mice.
The low-fidelity polymerase eta (poleta) is required for bypass of UV-induced pyrimidine dimers inserting adenine nucleotides opposite these lesions. Mutations in the poleta gene are responsible for the genetic defect in xeroderma pigmentosum variant patients. To study if the lack of poleta significantly elevates spontaneous mutation frequency in various organs and tissues of the mouse, we cros...
متن کاملRapid repair of O6-methylguanine-DNA adducts protects transgenic mice from N-methylnitrosourea-induced thymic lymphomas.
The methylating agent N-methylnitrosourea (MNU) is biased, surprisingly, in its carcinogenic potential toward the mouse thymus. Previous studies have shown that single doses of MNU administered to adult mice induced thymic lymphomas in over 80% of mice, while transgenic mice expressing high levels of the human O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase gene in the thymus (MGMT-CD2 transgenics) were p...
متن کاملEffect of Ku80 Deficiency on Mutation Frequencies and Spectra at a LacZ Reporter Locus in Mouse Tissues and Cells
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is thought to be an important mechanism for preventing the adverse effects of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) and its absence has been associated with premature aging. To investigate the effect of inactivated NHEJ on spontaneous mutation frequencies and spectra in vivo and in cultured cells, we crossed a Ku80-deficient mouse with mice harboring a lacZ-plasmid-b...
متن کاملA Prospective Study of hprt Mutant and Mutation Frequencies in Treated Cancer Patients1
We previously reported that some Hodgkin’s disease patients had elevated hprt mutant frequencies in peripheral blood lymphocytes long after cessation of therapy. To determine if these elevations in mutant frequency represent true persistently elevated mutation frequencies, we recruited for a prospective study six previously treated Hodgkin’s disease patients and five patients who had been treat...
