Abstract
The biological activity induced by the extractable organic matter (EOM) of size-segregated airborne Particulate Matter (PM) from two urban sites, urban traffic (UT) and urban background (UB), was assessed by using bacterial assays. The Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) coliform bacterium was used to measure the intracellular formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) by employing the Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction assay and the lipid peroxidation by malondialdehyde (MDA) measurement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study using E. coli for assessing the bioactivity of ambient air in term of oxidative mechanism studies. E. coli BL21 cells were further used for DNA damage assessment by employing the reporter (β-galactosidase) gene expression assay. The bacterial strain S. typhimurium TA100 was used to assess the mutagenic potential of PM by employing the well-known mutation assay (Ames test). Four PM size fractions were assessed for bioactivity, specifically the quasi-ultrafine mode (<0.49 μm), the upper accumulation mode (0.49-0.97 μm), the upper fine mode (0.97-3 μm), and the coarse mode (>3.0 μm). The EOM of each PM sample included three organic fractions of successively increased polarity: the non-polar organic fraction (NPOF), the moderately polar organic fraction (MPOF), and the polar organic fraction (POF). The toxicological endpoints induced by each organic fraction were correlated with the concentrations of various organic chemical components determined in previous studies in an attempt to identify the chemical classes involved.

Abstract
The formation of adducts by the reaction of chemicals with DNA is a critical step for the initiation of carcinogenesis. The structural analysis of various DNA adducts reveals that conformational and chemical rearrangements and interconversions are a common theme. Conformational changes are modulated both by the nature of adduct and the base sequences neighboring the lesion sites. Equilibria between conformational states may modulate both DNA repair and error-prone replication past these adducts. Likewise, chemical rearrangements of initially formed DNA adducts are also modulated both by the nature of adducts and the base sequences neighboring the lesion sites. In this review, we focus on DNA damage caused by a number of environmental and endogenous agents, and biological consequences.

Abstract
1, N (2)-Propanodeoxyguanosine (PdG) is a stable structural analogue for the 3-(2'-deoxy-beta- d- erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2-alpha]purin-10(3 H)-one (M 1dG) adduct derived from exposure of DNA to base propenals and to malondialdehyde. The structures of ternary polymerase-DNA-dNTP complexes for three template-primer DNA sequences were determined, with the Y-family Sulfolobus solfataricus DNA polymerase IV (Dpo4), at resolutions between 2.4 and 2.7 A. Three template 18-mer-primer 13-mer sequences, 5'-d(TCACXAAATCCTTCCCCC)-3'.5'-d(GGGGGAAGGATTT)-3' (template I), 5'-d(TCACXGAATCCTTCCCCC)-3'.5'-d(GGGGGAAGGATTC)-3' (template II), and 5'-d(TCATXGAATCCTTCCCCC)-3'.5'-d(GGGGGAAGGATTC)-3' (template III), where X is PdG, were analyzed. With templates I and II, diffracting ternary complexes including dGTP were obtained. The dGTP did not pair with PdG, but instead with the 5'-neighboring template dC, utilizing Watson-Crick geometry. Replication bypass experiments with the template-primer 5'-TCACXAAATCCTTACGAGCATCGCCCCC-3'.5'-GGGGGCGATGCTCGTAAGGATTT-3', where X is PdG, which includes PdG in the 5'-CXA-3' template sequence as in template I, showed that the Dpo4 polymerase inserted dGTP and dATP when challenged by the PdG adduct. For template III, in which the template sequence was 5'-TXG-3', a diffracting ternary complex including dATP was obtained. The dATP did not pair with PdG, but instead with the 5'-neighboring T, utilizing Watson-Crick geometry. Thus, all three ternary complexes were of the "type II" structure described for ternary complexes with native DNA [Ling, H., Boudsocq, F., Woodgate, R., and Yang, W. (2001) Cell 107, 91-102]. The PdG adduct remained in the anti conformation about the glycosyl bond in each of these threee ternary complexes. These results provide insight into how -1 frameshift mutations might be generated for the PdG adduct, a structural model for the exocylic M 1dG adduct formed by malondialdehyde.

Abstract
The OPdG adduct N (2)-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)dG, formed in DNA exposed to malondialdehyde, was introduced into 5'-d(ATCGC XCGGCATG)-3'.5'-d(CATGCCGCGAT)-3' at pH 7 (X = OPdG). The OPdG adduct is the base-catalyzed rearrangement product of the M 1dG adduct, 3-(beta- d-ribofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2- a]purin-10(3 H)-one. This duplex, named the OPdG-2BD oligodeoxynucleotide, was derived from a frameshift hotspot of the Salmonella typhimuium hisD3052 gene and contained a two-base deletion in the complementary strand. NMR spectroscopy revealed that the OPdG-2BD oligodeoxynucleotide underwent rapid bulge migration. This hindered its conversion to the M 1dG-2BD duplex, in which the bulge was localized and consisted of the M 1dG adduct and the 3'-neighbor dC [ Schnetz-Boutaud, N. C. , Saleh, S. , Marnett, L. J. , and Stone, M. P. ( 2001) Biochemistry 40, 15638- 15649 ]. The spectroscopic data suggested that bulge migration transiently positioned OPdG opposite dC in the complementary strand, hindering formation of the M 1dG-2BD duplex, or alternatively, reverting rapidly formed intermediates in the OPdG to M 1dG reaction pathway when dC was placed opposite from OPdG. The approach of initially formed M 1dG-2BD or OPdG-2BD duplexes to an equilibrium mixture of the M 1dG-2BD and OPdG-2BD duplexes was monitored as a function of time, using NMR spectroscopy. Both samples attained equilibrium in approximately 140 days at pH 7 and 25 degrees C.

Abstract
A rapid, high-throughput bacterial mutagenicity test system has been developed (MutaGen test) that detects reversions of inactivating base-pair substitutions and frameshifts in a TEM-1 class A beta-lactamase (ampicillinase) gene. To quickly and sensitively detect mutagens, the system utilises a series of plasmids that contain the mutated ampicillinase gene and the mucAB operon. Inactivating mutations in the ampicillinase gene include frameshifts integrated into repetitive GC-sequences and G-runs known to be mutagenic hot-spots, and base-pair substitutions inserted in or around the beta-lactamase active site. Frameshift mutations completely inactivated the enzyme only when located downstream of the active-site serine (Ser68). Previous (reporter gene based) assays with this system have detected reversion to ampicillin resistance by luminescence driven by induction of the tet-promotor controlled lacZ gene. In the present study, we describe the construction and evaluation of 19 additional potential tester strains. We also developed conditions for detecting reversions by pH shift using bromocresol purple and by directly detecting the enzymatic activity of beta-lactamase using nitrocefin. A 384-well format version of the pH shift MutaGen test was used to assay more than 20 chemicals. The responses in the assay were compared with responses for the same chemicals in the umu test and Ames fluctuation assays. The results indicate that the MutaGen test has high specificity for detecting specific mutations and, in some instances, better sensitivity than the other tests. Since the test is easy to conduct, sterile working conditions are not necessary, and the mutagenicity results are available either within one working day or overnight, the assay shows promise for the rapid screening of potentially genotoxic substances.

Abstract
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is an endogenous genotoxic product of enzymatic and oxygen radical-induced lipid peroxidation whose adducts are known to exist in DNA isolated from healthy human beings. To evaluate the mutagenic potential of MDA in human cells, we reacted MDA with pSP189 shuttle vector DNA and then transfected them into human fibroblasts for replication. MDA induced up to a 15-fold increase in mutation frequency in the supF reporter gene compared with untreated DNA. Sequence analysis revealed that the majority of MDA-induced mutations occurred at GC base pairs. The most frequent mutations were large insertions and deletions, but base pair substitutions were also detected. MDA-induced mutations were completely abolished when the adducted shuttle vector was replicated in cells lacking nucleotide excision repair. MDA induction of large deletions and the apparent requirement for nucleotide excision repair suggested the possible involvement of a DNA interstrand cross-link as a premutagenic lesion. Indeed, MDA formed interstrand cross-links in duplex plasmids and oligonucleotides. Substrates containing the sequence 5'-d(CG) were preferentially cross-linked, consistent with the observation of base pair substitutions in 5'-d(CG) sites in the MDA-induced mutation spectrum. These experiments provide biological and biochemical evidence for the existence of MDA-induced DNA interstrand cross-links that could result from endogenous oxidative stress and likely have potent biological effects.

Abstract
The construction of a bacterial mutation assay system detecting reversions of base substitutions and frameshifts in tetracycline (tet) and ampicillin resistance genes located on low copy plasmids is described. Frameshift mutations were introduced into repetitive GC-sequences and G-repeats known to be mutagenic hot-spots. Base pair substitutions were inserted in or around the active site of the ampicillinase gene thus generating reversibility of the ampicilline sensitivity. The plasmids carry genes to enable sensitive, fast and specific detection of mutagens in bacteria. MucAB was cloned into the test plasmid to enhance error-prone DNA-repair. The conventional reversion principle has been combined with the luminometric measurement of an inducible reporter gene. The revertants are detected after induction of the beta-galactosidase-producing lacZ-gene either controlled by its natural lac-promotor or by the more stringently repressed (anhydrotetracyclin inducible) tetA promotor. The tester strains containing the tetA/lacZ reporter gene construct can grow in full medium over the complete assay. This test procedure enables screening for mutations within one working day. Incubation for 16 h reveals high sensitivity.

Abstract
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a toxic and mutagenic metabolite produced by lipid peroxidation, and prostaglandin biosynthesis. MDA induces frameshift mutations in tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium. It reacts with DNA, and at physiological pH the major adduct is a pyrimidopurinone formed by reaction with guanine: M1G [3-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythropentofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2-alpha]-purin-10(3H)-one]. When site-specifically incorporated into a duplex oligodeoxynucleotide containing a frameshift-prone (CG)3 repeat derived from the Salmonella typhimurium hisd3052 gene, spontaneous opening of M1G to the N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG species occurred. In this work d(ATCGCMCGGCATG), (M=M1G) was annealed to d(CATGCCGCGAT) to model the putative strand slippage intermediate which would precede a two base deletion in the (CG)3 iterated repeat. 1H NMR studies indicate that in contrast to the duplex DNA structure, M1G remains intact. A single bulge conformation exists. M1G and its 3'-neighbor cytosine are unpaired. The M1G is intrahelical and stacked, whereas the unpaired cytosine is poorly stacked and appears to be extrahelical.

Abstract
The solution structure of the 1,N(2)-propanodeoxyguanosine (PdG) adduct was determined in a 3-base hairpin loop formed by d(CGCGGTXTCCGCG) (X = PdG). This sequence is contained within the Salmonella typhimurium hisD3052 gene, a hotspot for frameshift mutagenesis. PdG provides a structural model for the primary adduct induced in DNA by malondialdehyde, the 3-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2-a]-purin-10(3H)-one (M(1)G) lesion. The solution structure of the PdG-containing hairpin was refined by molecular dynamics calculations restrained by a combination of NMR-derived distances and dihedral angles, using a simulated annealing protocol. The structure of the PdG-modified hairpin consisted of a five-base-pair stem and a three-base loop consisting of T(6), X(7), and T(8). T(6) projected into the minor groove of the stem adjacent to G(4). The modified base X(7) stacked on top of the duplex stem and wedged between bases T(8) and C(9). The PdG moiety was oriented such that the imidazole proton was facing the minor groove of the stem and the exocyclic protons projected into the major groove. The structure of the adducted hairpin was compared with the structure of the corresponding unmodified oligodeoxynucleotide, and was found to be similar. There was a minor difference in the backbone angles of the G and PdG Hairpins at the phosphate linkage between G(5) and T(6) involving the G(5) epsilon angle and T(6) alpha and beta angles. The PdG-modified hairpin exhibited an increase in T(m) of approximately 2 degrees C compared to the unmodified hairpin. The structural and thermodynamic similarities suggested that PdG does not stabilize this hairpin and thus may not promote its extrusion in duplex DNA. The structural results are correlated with the results of site-specific mutagenesis experiments in the same sequence, which do not show evidence of frameshift mutations associated with hairpin loop formation. The geometry of this three-base loop is similar to that of other DNA hairpins containing three-base loops, and suggests a common motif for the folding of these loops.

Abstract
The structure of the 1,N(2)-Propanodeoxyguanosine (PdG) adduct was determined at pH 5.2 in the oligodeoxynucleotide duplex 5'-d(CGCGGTXTCCGCG)3'.5'-d(CGCGGACACCGCG)-3' (X = PdG). This sequence, referred to as the -TXT- sequence, is contained within the Salmonella typhimurium hisD3052 gene and contains a palindrome, representing a potential hotspot for frameshift mutagenesis. PdG provides a model for the primary adduct induced in DNA by malondialdehyde, the 3-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2-a]-purin-10(3H)-one (M(1)G) lesion. The solution structure was refined by molecular dynamics calculations restrained by a combination of NMR-derived distances and dihedral angles, using a simulated annealing protocol. PdG introduced a localized perturbation into the sequence at base pair X(7).C(20), which was pH-dependent. At neutral pH, conformational exchange resulted in spectral line broadening, and it was not possible to determine the structure. A stable structure was observed at pH 5.2 in which PdG rotated about the glycosyl bond into the syn conformation. This placed the exocyclic moiety into the major groove of the duplex. PdG formed a protonated Hoogsteen pair with nucleotide C(20) in the complementary strand. The pseudorotation of the deoxyribose at C(20) was altered to an approximately equal blend of C2'-endo and C3'-endo structures. However, these made little difference in the overall structure of the modified oligodeoxynucleotide. The structure was compared to that of PdG in the 5'-d(CGCXCGGCATG)-3'.5'-(CATGCCGCGCG)-3' sequence (the -CXC- sequence) at pH 5.8 [Singh, U. S., Moe, J. G., Reddy, G. R., Weisenseel, J. P., Marnett, L. J., and Stone, M. P. (1993) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 6, 825-836]. A sequence effect was observed. When PdG was placed into the -TXT- sequence at low pH, the structural perturbation was limited to the X(7).C(20) base pair. In contrast, when PdG was placed into the -CXC- sequence at low pH, both the modified base pair and its 3'-neighbor base pair were disrupted. The results are discussed in the context of differential outcomes for site-specific mutagenesis and replication bypass experiments when PdG was placed in the -TXT- and -CXC- sequences, respectively.

Abstract
The pyrimidopurinone adduct M1G [3-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2-a]-purin-10(3H)-one], formed in DNA upon exposure to malondialdehyde or base propenals, was incorporated into 5'-d(ATCGCMCGGCATG)-3'-5'-d(CATGCCGCGAT)-3', where M = M1G. This duplex contained a two-nucleotide bulge in the modified strand, and was named the M1G-2BD oligodeoxynucleotide. It provided a model for -2 bp strand slippage deletions associated with the (CpG)3-iterated repeat hotspot for frameshift mutations from the Salmonella typhimurium hisD3052 gene. M1G was chemically stable in the M1G-2BD duplex at neutral pH. The two-base bulge in the M1G-2BD oligodeoxynucleotide was localized and consisted of M1G and the 3'-neighbor deoxycytosine. The intrahelical orientation of M1G was established from a combination of NOE and chemical shift data. M1G was in the anti conformation about the glycosyl bond. The 3'-neighbor deoxycytosine appeared to be extruded toward the major groove. In contrast, when M1G was placed into the corresponding fully complementary (CpG)3-iterated repeat duplex at neutral pH, spontaneous and quantitative ring-opening to N(2)-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG (the OPG adduct) was facilitated [Mao, H., Reddy, G. R., Marnett, L. J., and Stone, M. P. (1999) Biochemistry 38, 13491-13501]. The structure of the M1G-2BD duplex suggested that the bulged sequence lacked a cytosine amino group properly positioned to facilitate opening of M1G and supports the notion that proper positioning of deoxycytosine complementary to M1G is necessary to promote ring-opening of the exocyclic adduct in duplex DNA. The structure of the M1G-2BD duplex was similar to that of the structural analogue 1,N(2)-propanodeoxyguanosine (PdG) in the corresponding PdG-2BD duplex [Weisenseel, J. P., Moe, J. G., Reddy, G. R., Marnett, L. J., and Stone, M. P. (1995) Biochemistry 34, 50-64]. The fixed position of the bulged bases in both instances suggests that these exocyclic adducts do not facilitate transient bulge migration.

The refined solution structure for the ring-opened N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG derivative of the malondialdehyde deoxyguanosine adduct M(1)G [3-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrimido[1, 2-a]purin-10(3H)-one] in d(ATCGCXCGGCATG) x d(CATGCCGCGCGAT) [X being N(2)-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG], containing the d(CpG)(3) frameshift hotspot of the Salmonella typhimurium hisD3052 gene, is presented. When inserted into this duplex, M(1)G underwent spontaneous ring opening to N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG. NMR analysis revealed that N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG induced minor structural perturbations in the hisD3052 oligodeoxynucleotide. However, the stability of the duplex DNA was reduced; the N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG-modified hisD3052 oligodeoxynucleotide exhibited a 14 degrees C decrease in T(m) relative to that of the native oligodeoxynucleotide. The modified guanine maintained stacking interactions with neighboring bases but was not Watson-Crick hydrogen bonded. A total of 13 NOEs were observed from the 3-oxo-1-propenyl moiety protons of N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG to DNA protons. Molecular dynamics calculations, restrained by 602 distance restraints derived from experimental NOE measurements and 23 empirical distance restraints, converged with pairwise rmsd differences of <0.90 A. The sixth-root residual factor with the NMR data was 9.1 x 10(-2). The cytosine complementary to N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG was pushed toward the major groove but maintained partial stacking interactions with its neighboring bases. The modified guanine remained in the anti conformation, while the 3-oxo-1-propenyl moiety was positioned in the minor groove of the duplex. Possible correlations between the relatively small structural perturbations induced in this DNA duplex by N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG and the mutagenic spectrum of M(1)G are discussed.

Abstract
Somatic mosaicism due to reversion of a pathogenic allele to wild type has been described in several autosomal recessive disorders. The best known mechanism involves intragenic mitotic recombination or gene conversion in compound heterozygous patients, whereby one allele serves to restore the wild-type sequence in the other. Here we document for the first time functional correction of a pathogenic microdeletion, microinsertion and missense mutation in homozygous Fanconi anaemia (FA) patients resulting from compensatory secondary sequence alterations in cis. The frameshift mutation 1615delG in FANCA was compensated by two additional single base-pair deletions (1637delA and 1641delT); another FANCA frameshift mutation, 3559insG, was compensated by 3580insCGCTG; and a missense mutation in FANCC(1749T-->G, Leu496Arg) was altered by 1748C-->T, creating a cysteine codon. Although in all three cases the predicted proteins were different from wild type, their cDNAs complemented the characteristic hypersensitivity of FA cells to crosslinking agents, thus establishing a functional correction to wild type.

Abstract
The primary DNA lesion induced by malondialdehyde, a byproduct of lipid peroxidation and prostaglandin synthesis, is 3-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-pyrimido[1, 2-a]purin-10(3H)-one (M1G). When placed opposite cytosine (underlined) at neutral pH in either the d(GGTMTCCG).d(CGGACACC) or d(ATCGCMCGGCATG). d(CATGCCGCGCGAT) duplexes, M1G spontaneously and quantitatively converts to the ring-opened derivative N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG. Ring-opening is reversible on thermal denaturation. Ring-opening does not occur at neutral pH in single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides or when T is placed opposite to M1G in a duplex. The presence of a complementary cytosine is not required to stabilize N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG in duplex DNA at neutral pH. When N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG is placed opposite to thymine in a duplex, it does not revert to M1G. A mechanism for the conversion of M1G to N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG is proposed in which the exocyclic amino group of the complementary cytosine attacks the C8 position of the M1G exocyclic ring and facilitates ring opening via formation of a transient Schiff base. Addition of water to the Schiff base regenerates the catalytic cytosine and generates N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)-dG. These results document the ability of duplex DNA to catalyze the transformation of one adduct into another, which may have important consequences for mutagenesis and repair.

Abstract
To characterize the hisD3052 -1 frameshift allele of Salmonella typhimurium, we analyzed approximately 6000 spontaneous revertants (rev) for a 2-base deletion hotspot within the sequence (CG)4, and we sequenced approximately 500 nonhotspot rev. The reversion target is a minimum of 76 bases (nucleotides 843-918) that code for amino acids within a nonconserved region of the histidinol dehydrogenase protein. Only 0.4-3.9% were true rev. Of the following classes, 182 unique second-site mutations were identified: hotspot, complex frameshifts requiring DeltauvrB + pKM101 (TA98-specific) or not (concerted), 1-base insertions, duplications, and nonhotspot deletions. The percentages of hotspot mutations were 13.8% in TA1978 (wild type), 24.5% in UTH8413 (pKM101), 31.6% in TA1538 (DeltauvrB), and 41.0% in TA98 (DeltauvrB, pKM101). The DeltauvrB allele decreased by three times the mutant frequency (MF, rev/10(8) survivors) of duplications and increased by about two times the MF of deletions. Separately, the DeltauvrB allele or pKM101 plasmid increased by two to three times the MF of hotspot mutations; combined, they increased this MF by five times. The percentage of 1-base insertions was not influenced by either DeltauvrB or pKM101. Hotspot deletions and TA98-specific complex frameshifts are inducible by some mutagens; concerted complex frameshifts and 1-base insertions are not; and there is little evidence for mutagen-induced duplications and nonhotspot deletions. Except for the base substitutions in TA98-specific complex frameshifts, all spontaneous mutations of the hisD3052 allele are likely templated. The mechanisms may involve (1) the potential of direct and inverted repeats to undergo slippage and misalignment and to form quasi-palindromes and (2) the interaction of these sequences with DNA replication and repair proteins.

Abstract
The mechanism of DNA adduct formation by acroleins substituted with good leaving groups in the beta-position was investigated using [3-2H]-3-(p-nitrophenoxy)acrolein (1). Reaction of 1 with guanosine at acidic pH produced 9-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrimido[1,2-alpha]purin-10(3H)-one containing equal amounts of deuterium at both carbons 6 and 8, indicating that hydrolysis of 1 to beta-hydroxyacrolein (malondialdehyde) occurred prior to reaction with guanosine. In contrast, reaction of 1 with deoxyguanosine at neutral pH produced 9-(beta-D-2'-deoxyribofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2-alpha]purin-10(3H)-one with deuterium selectively incorporated at position 8. This indicates that the pyrimido[1,2-alpha]purin-10(3H)-one adduct forms by 1,2-addition of the exocyclic amino group of deoxyguanosine to the aldehyde carbon of 1 followed by cyclization with the ring nitrogen. In concert with these observations, reaction of 1 with p-nitroaniline produced 3-[(p-nitrophenyl)amino]acrolein with deuterium exclusively in the aldehyde carbon. These observations define the chemical steps in DNA adduct formation by acroleins substituted at the beta-position with good leaving groups. In addition, they explain the relatively modest dependence of mutagenicity on leaving group ability in this series of compounds.

Abstract
Benzidine is mutagenic in a modified Ames (Salmonella typhimurium) assay, which uses hydrogen peroxide-dependent peroxidative activation. The mutational specificity of benzidine was investigated in tester strain TA98, which reverts by frameshifts of the hisD3052 allele. The most frequently observed mutation is a deletion of two bases from a (CG)4 run. This deletion was elevated in frequency among benzidine-induced revertants, relative to spontaneous revertants. Many other mutations were also observed, including additions, deletions, and complex events. Only small frameshifts were observed among the benzidine-induced revertants, whereas some larger deletions were observed among the spontaneous revertants.

Abstract
Spontaneous mutations are "the net result of all that can go wrong with DNA during the life cycle of an organism" (Glickman et al., 1986). Thus, the types and amounts of spontaneous mutations produced are the resultant of all the cellular processes that are mutagenic and those that are antimutagenic. It is not widely appreciated that the types and frequencies of spontaneous mutations change markedly with subtle changes in experimental conditions. All types of mutations are produced spontaneously, i.e., base substitutions, frameshifts, insertions and deletions. However, very few papers have appeared that are devoted exclusively to the study of the mechanisms of spontaneous mutagenesis, and of the subtle experimental factors that affect the types and frequencies of spontaneous mutations. This is unfortunate because spontaneous mutagenesis appears to play a major role in evolution, aging, and carcinogenesis. This review emphasizes subtle experimental variables that markedly affect the results of a spontaneous mutation experiment. A thorough understanding of these variables eliminates the need for a theory of "directed" mutagenesis. The intrinsic instability of DNA, and the types of normal metabolic lesions that are produced in DNA that lead to mutations via errors made in replication, repair, and recombination are reviewed, as is the genetic control of spontaneous mutagenesis. As with spontaneous mutagenesis, spontaneous carcinogenesis can also be considered to be the net result of all that can go wrong with DNA during the life of an organism.
