Abstract
DNA oligonucleotides containing site-specific N7-guanine monoadducts of cisplatin, diepoxybutane, and epichlorohydrin were used as templates for DNA synthesis by two bacterial DNA polymerases and human polymerase β. These polymerases were able to bypass the lesions effectively, although the efficiency was decreased, with inhibition increasing with the size of the lesion. Fidelity of incorporation was essentially unaltered, suggesting that N7-guanine monoadducts do not significantly contribute to the mutational spectra of these agents.
