The mutagenicity of 1,2-dibromoethane (EDB) to Escherichia coli was reduced by the UV light-induced excision repair system but unaffected by the loss of a major apurinic/apyrimidinic site repair function. At high doses, 70-90% of the EDB-induced mutations were independent of SOS-mutagenic processing and approximately 50% were independent of glutathione conjugation. The SOS-independent mutations induced by EDB were unaffected by the enzymes that repair alkylation-induced DNA lesions. EDB-induced base substitutions were dominated by GC to AT and AT to GC transitions. These results suggest that EDB-induced premutagenic lesions have some, but not all, of the characteristics of simple alkyl lesions.
1,2 - 二溴乙烷(EDB)对大肠杆菌的致突变性可被紫外线诱导的切除修复系统降低,但不受主要的脱嘌呤/脱嘧啶位点修复功能丧失的影响。在高剂量下,70 - 90%的EDB诱导的突变独立于SOS诱变过程,约50%独立于谷胱甘肽结合。EDB诱导的SOS非依赖性突变不受修复烷基化诱导的DNA损伤的酶的影响。EDB诱导的碱基替换以GC到AT和AT到GC的转换为主。这些结果表明,EDB诱导的前诱变损伤具有一些但并非全部简单烷基损伤的特征。
