Abstract
An in vitro system in which bacteriophage T7 DNA is replicated and efficiently packaged into procapsids to form viable phage has been used to examine mutagenesis. The fidelity of replication was assayed both by measuring reversion of an amber mutation in an essential gene and by generation of temperature-sensitive mutants among the phage produced in vitro. Under standard reaction conditions, the fidelity of DNA replication is about equal to that normally found in vivo. However, when O6-methyldeoxyguanosine triphosphate is included in the reaction, O6-methylguanine is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA and the mutation frequencies increase 10- to 70-fold over the control. These experiments demonstrate in vitro mutagenesis with the T7 DNA replication-packaging system and provide more direct evidence for the premutagenic role of O6-methylguanine.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
