Removal of purine bases from .vphi.X174 single-stranded DNA leads to increased reversion frequency of amber mutations when this DNA is copied in vitro with purified DNA polymerases. This depurination-induced mutagenesis is observed at 3 different genetic loci and with several different purified enzymes, including Escherichia coli DNA polymerases I and III, avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase and eukaryotic DNA polymerases .alpha., .beta. and .gamma.. The extent of mutagenesis correlates with the estimated frequency of bypass of the lesion and is greatest with inherently inaccurate DNA polymerases which lack proofreading capacity. With E. coli DNA polymerase I, conditions which diminish proofreading result in a 3-5-fold increase in depurination-induce mutagenesis, suggesting a role for proofreading in determining the frequency of bypass of apurinic sites. The addition of E. coli single-stranded DNA-binding protein to polymerase I catalyzed reactions with depurinated DNA had no effect of the extent of mutagenesis. Analysis of wild-type revertants produced during in vitro DNA synthesis by polymerase I or avian myeloblastosis virus DNA polymerase on depurinated .vphi.X174 amber 3 DNA indicates a preference for insertion of dAMP opposite the putative apurinic site at position 587. Both the mutagenic potential of a purinic sites in higher organisms and studies on error-prone DNA synthesis are discussed.
