UVM is an SOS‐independent inducible response characterized by elevated mutagenesis at a site‐specific 3, N4‐ethenocytosine (εC) residue borne on M13 single‐stranded DNA transfected intoEscherichia colicells pretreated with DNA‐damaging agents. By constructing and usingE. colistrain AM124 (polA polB umuDC dinB lexA1[Ind–]), we show here that the UVM response is manifested in cells deficient for SOS induction, as well as for all four of the ‘non‐replicative’ DNA polymerases, namely DNA polymerase I (polA), II (polB), IV (dinB) and V (umuDC). These results confirm that UVM represents a novel, previously unidentified cellular response to DNA‐damaging agents. To address the question as to whether the UVM response is accompanied by an error‐prone DNA replication activity, we applied a newly developedin vitroreplication assay coupled to anin vitromutation analysis system. In the assay, circular M13 single‐stranded DNA bearing a site‐specific lesion is converted to circular double‐stranded replicative‐form DNA in the presence of cell extracts and nucleotide precursors under conditions that closely mimic M13 replicationin vivo. The newly synthesized (minus) DNA strand is selectively amplified by ligation‐mediated polymerase chain reaction (LM‐PCR), followed by a multiplex sequence analysis to determine the frequency and specificity of mutations. Replication of DNA bearing a site‐specific εC lesion by cell extracts from uninducedE. coliAM124 cells results in a mutation frequency of about 13%. Mutation frequency is elevated fivefold (to 58%) in cell extracts from UVM‐induced AM124 cells, with C → A mutations predominating over C → T mutations, a specificity similar to that observedin vivo. These results, together with previously reported data, suggest that the UVM response is mediated through the induction of a transient error‐prone DNA replication activity and that a modification of DNA polymerase III or the expression of a previously unidentified DNA polymerase may account for the UVM phenotype.
