Reduction of GC → TA Transversion Mutation by Overexpression of MutS in Escherichia coli K-12

Overexpression of the MutS repair protein significantly decreased the rate of lacZ GC → TA transversion mutation in stationary-phase and exponentially growing bacteria and in mutY and mutM mutants, which accumulate mismatches between 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) and adenine residues in DNA. Conversely, GC...
