also tested. 4-Nitroquinoline 1-oxide, 4-hydroxyaminoquinoline 1oxide, 3-methyl-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide, and 2,3-dimethyl-4nitropyridine 1-oxide caused wider growth-inhibiting zones with mutants of Escherichia coli, such as the DNA polymerase 1-deficient mutant, po/Al, and the recombination-deficient mutants, r<?cA13 and recB21, than with the wild strain. These compounds also caused wider growth-inhibiting zones with ultraviolet-sensitive mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Bacillus subtilis than with the corresponding wild types. 4-Nitropyridine 1-oxide, /V-methyl-./V'-nitro-A'-nitrosoguani-

متن کاملThe effects of a number of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide and 4-nitropyridine I-oxide derivatives, with varying carcino genic potencies, on the scission of proteins linking DNA
The effects of a number of 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide and 4-nitropyridine I-oxide derivatives, with varying carcino genic potencies, on the scission of proteins linking DNA were studied in cultured mouse fibroblasts, strain L . P3. With twenty-two 4-nitroquinoline I-oxide derivatives and twelve 4-nitropyridine 1-oxide derivatives tested, an excel lent correlation was found between the scission ef...
متن کاملUltrastructure and biochemical function of the mitochondria in respiratory-deficient mutant yeast induced by 4-nitroquinoline nitrogen oxide.
1. A respiratory-deficient mutant strain of yeast was obtained from wild strain of Saccharomyces servisiae by treatment with 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide. Ultrastructure and function of the wild or mutant strains and the mitochondrial fractions isolated from these strains were examined by biochemical and electron microscopic analyses. 2. The frequency of the respiratory-deficient mutant strain in y...
متن کاملLack of chemically induced mutation in repair-deficient mutants of yeast.
Two genes, rad6 and rad9, that confer radiation sensitivity in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae also greatly reduce the frequency of chemically-induced reversions of a tester mutant cyc1-131, which is a chain initiation mutant in the structural gene determining iso-1-cytochrome c. Mutations induced by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), diethyl sulfate (DES), methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), dimethyl...
متن کاملDifferentiation between amber and ochre mutants of yeast by reversion with 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide.
4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (NQO) induces high frequencies of intragenic revertants of amber (UAG) but not ochre (UAA) mutants of yeast. Distinction of the amber and ochre codons was made with well-characterized nonsense mutants of the iso-1-cytochrome c gene (cyc1 mutants) as well as with nonsense mutants having nutritional requirements. Thus the NQO-induced reversion frequencies corroborated the...
