Abstract
DNA templates containing a modified base (06-methylguanine, 8-hydroxyguanine, xanthine or hypoxanthine) which was located in nucleotide sequences corresponding to the 12th or 61st codon of a ras gene were synthesized and deoxynucleotide incorporation opposite the lesions was investigated. The templates were replicated by Taq DNA polymerase, recombinant rat DNA polymerase β and mouse DNA polymerase a-primase complex. Sequence analysis of the replicated products indicated selective incorporation of nucleotide(s) opposite a modified base, depending on the kind of base and of DNA polymerase. This system is very useful to obtain results of in vitro replication of modified bases in ras sequences.
