Kinds of mutations formed when a shuttle vector containing adducts of benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide replicates in COS7 cells.

Abstract：

:We have investigated the kinds of mutations induced when a shuttle vector containing covalently bound residues of the (+/-)-7 beta,8 alpha-dihydroxy-9 alpha,10 alpha-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE) replicates in the monkey kidney cell line COS7. The target for detecting mutations was the 200-base pair gene for a tyrosine suppressor tRNA (supF), inserted at the EcoRI site in shuttle vector p3AC (Sarkar et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 4:2227-2230, 1984). When introduced by transformation, a functioning supF gene in progeny plasmid recovered from COS7 cells allows suppression of a lacZ amber mutation in the indicator Escherichia coli host. Treatment of p3AC with BPDE caused a linear increase in the number of BPDE residues bound per plasmid. Untreated plasmids and plasmids containing 6.6 BPDE residues were transfected into COS7 cells, and the progeny were assayed for mutations in the supF gene. The frequency of mutants generated during replication of the BPDE-treated plasmids was not higher than that from untreated plasmids, but the two populations differed markedly in the kinds of mutations they contained. Gel electrophoresis analysis of the size alterations of 77 mutant plasmids obtained with untreated DNA and 45 obtained with BPDE-treated DNA showed that the majority of the mutant progeny of untreated plasmids exhibited gross alterations, principally large deletions. In contrast, the majority of the mutants generated during replication of the BPDE-treated plasmids contained only minor alterations, principally point mutations. Sequence analysis of progeny of untreated plasmids containing putative point mutations showed insertions and deletions of bases and a broad spectrum of base substitutions; in those from BPDE-treated plasmids, all base substitutions involved guanosine . cystosine pairs.
