Revised Manuscript Received December 29, 1992 abstract: Reactive oxygen species, produced in cells by a variety of mechanisms, damage DNA and cause mutations. To characterize the types of mutations produced in mammalian cells, we copied DNA damaged by reactive oxygen species with mammalian DNA polymerase ft. Double-stranded circular M13mp2 DNA containing a 361-nucleotide single-stranded gap within the lacZ gene was damaged by aerobic incubation with Fe2+ and H2O2. The gap then was filled by purified recombinant rat DNA polymerase 0, and the DNA was transfected into Escherichia coli. Mutations within the nonessential lacZ gene for 0-galactosidase were identified by reduced a-complementation. In this system, oxidative damage increased the mutation frequency within the target region by an average of 4.3-fold. At certain sites, the base substitution rate is nearly 300 times greater than would be expected to resultfrom a random distribution of damage. The oxidatively induced mutations fall into two categories: those apparently caused by direct miscoding of modified DNA and those associated with enhanced misincorporation at prexisting polymerase-specific hot spots. The latter group may be due to a conformational change in the DNA caused by oxidative modification and could be indicative of a novel mutagenic mechanism.In procaryotic and eucaryotic cells, oxygen is metabolized by a series of one-electron reductions, generating a variety of oxygen free radicals and associated species. These highly reactive intermediates alter cellular macromolecules. The extent of DNA damage by reactive oxygen species in human cells has been estimated by Ames and co-workers (Shigenaga et al., 1989; Cathacart et al., 1984; Richter et al., 1988). On the basis of the recovery of 8-oxoguanine (Shigenaga et al.,
