Abstract:
:Two diol epoxides of benzo(a)pyrene (BP), and benzo(a)pyrene 4,5-oxide, have been used to make adducts in the homopolymers polyribocytidylic acid, (rC); polyriboadenylic acid (rA), polydeoxycytidylic acid (dC) and polydeoxyadenylic acid (dA). With appropriate oligomers as primers these modified and unmodified polynucleotides were used as templates for DNA synthesis with avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase (AMV) or E. coli Pol I DNA polymerase. We have found that: (1) the size of the DNA product is not markedly decreased by the presence of these these polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon adducts in the templates; (2) the presence of adducts does not lead to increased incorporation of erroneous bases. These results, supported by kinetic data, suggest that these polymerases can bypass a site containing an adduct on the template without leaving a gap or causing misincorporation of a base and they imply that mutagenesis by BP may not be attributable to either of these mechanisms.
