Transcription Increases Methylmethane Sulfonate-Induced Mutations in alkB Strains of Escherichia coli

Methylmethane sulfonate (MMS) produces DNA base lesions, including 3-methylcytosine (m3C), more effectively in single-stranded DNA. The repair of m3C in Escherichia coli is mediated by AlkB through oxidative demethylation and in the absence of repair, m3C leads to base-substitution mutations. We des...
