Abstract: Spontaneous mutation rate at hypoxanthine phosphoribosylt ransferase (hprt) locus increased markedly in Hela2MLH1 - cell , mismatch repair (MMR) deficient cell line , it exhibited a 8. 78 and 3. 532fold increase in mutation f requency relative to MMR2proficient HeLa2R9 and HeLa cell line. This phenotype is similar to another mismatch repair defective cell line HeLa2MSH2 - .MNN G tolerance also appeared in HeLa2MLH1 - cell but no MNN G tolerance in HeLa2MSH2 -cell. These data suggest that different MMR gene defect exert s different effect s on mutator phenotypes.

Key words: DNA2repair, hypoxanthine phosphoribosylt ransferase, mutation, methyl-nitro-ni-t rosoguanidine
