PMID- 12836344 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20030815 LR - 20210705 IP - 1 DP - 2001 TI - Binding specificities of the mismatch binding protein, MutS, to oligonucleotides containing modified bases. PG - 221-2 AB - We have studied the effects of DNA mismatch repair on mutagenesis induced by nucleoside analogs. Among them, the mutagenic action of 3,4-dihydro-6H,8H-pyrimido[4,5-c][1,2]oxazin-7-one 2'-deoxyriboside (dP) showed high susceptibility to the mismatch repair system, while mutagenesis by N4-aminocytidine and N4-hydroxycytidine was only weakly affected. 2-Aminopurine mutagenesis showed intermediate susceptibility. MutS protein specifically bound to an oligonucleotide duplex containing a dP-dG pair, while the dP-dA pair was bound only weakly. The binding to the dP-dG pair was as strong as binding to a dA-dC mismatch. These specific binding properties can explain the effective avoidance of dP-induced mutagenesis by the mismatch repair system. We have also studied the effects of the repair system on mutagenesis induced by methylating and ethylating agents. FAU - Negishi, K AU - Negishi K AD - Gene Research Center, Okayama University.
