We have determined the DNA alterations recovered after treatment with (.+-.)-r-7,t-8-dihydroxy-t-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene [(.+-.)-anti-BPDE] in the lacI gene of excision-repair-deficient (Uvr-) Escherichia coli. The high induction of -(G:C) frameshifts, G:C .fwdarw. T:A and A:T .fwdarw. T:A transversions, and the presence of complex mutations of a particular motif, distinguish the mutational distribution recovered in the Uvr- strain, although other mutational classes, including -(A:T) frameshifts and duplications, were also moderately induced. The great majority of -(G:C) frameshifts, the predominant mutation recovered, occurred in runs of G residues. The G:C .fwdarw. T:A transversion was found to occur more frequently (10/12 occurrences) at 5''-Y-G-3'' sites, sequences at which the labile BPDE:N7G adduct has been predicted to occur. Moreover, the relative proportions of G:C .fwdarw. T:A, A:T .fwdarw. T:A and G:C .fwdarw. A:T mutations correlate well with the expected proportions of alkali-labile lesions of G, A and C residues. These results support the model that (.+-.)-anti-BPDE-induced base substitution mutagenesis in E. coli proceeds through abasic intermediates across from which adenine is preferentialy incorporated during replication.
