Mutations induced by activated benzo[a]pyrene ((+)‐anti‐B[a]PDE) in Escherichia coli are being investigated, by using both random and adduct‐site–specific mutagenesis approaches. A working hypothesis was proposed that the major adduct of (+)‐anti‐B[a]PDE (formed at N2‐Gua) is able to induce different base‐substitution mutations (e.g., GC→TA vs. GC→AT) depending upon its conformation in DNA, which can be influenced by various factors, notably DNA sequence context. Frameshift mutations are also common with (+)‐anti‐B[a]PDE, and other work suggested that the frameshift and base‐substitution mutagenesis pathways are coupled. The simplest hypothesis to rationalize this interrelationship is that a single (+)‐anti‐BEa[a]PDE adduct in a single conformation can be bypassed via either a frameshift or a base‐substitution pathway. This counterintuitive notion can be reconciled if there are two different kinds of conformations on the pathway to mutagenesis: a class I conformation, which is the initial conformation of a DNA adduct in double‐stranded DNA before its encounter with a DNA polymerase, and a class II conformation, which is the conformation that forms at a single‐strand/double‐strand DNA junction during replication by a DNA polymerase. Thus, GC→TA and GC→AT mutations may be induced by different class I conformations, whereas base substitution and frameshift mutations may be induced by the same class I conformation but by different class II conformations. The pathway of mutagenesis would be dictated by the relevant class I and II conformations, which in turn would be controlled by various factors, notably DNA sequence context. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
