Abstract:

The mutation of diploid human lymphoblasts by methylnitronitrosoguanidine (MNNG) was measured over the range of 0--45 ng of MNNG/ml of of medium. We found a 12-day lag in the phenotypic expression of 6-thioguanine resistance; the occurrence of this lag was independent of MNNG concentration. We hypothesize that the unexpectedly long lag period reflects a requirement for the loss of previously existing molecules of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) after mutation at the HGPRT locus.

Mismatch Repair

Mismatch Repair

Organisms are capable of detecting and fixing nucleotide mismatches that occur during DNA replication. This sophisticated process requires identifying the new strand and replacing the erroneous bases with correct nucleotides. Mismatch repair is coordinated by many proteins in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
