摘要
Mutation rates at two expanded simple tandem repeat (ESTR) loci were studied in the germline of DNA polymerase kappa (POl kappa(-/-)) deficient mice. The spontaneous mutation rate in homozygous POl kappa(-/-) males was significantly higher than in isogenic wild-type mice (POl kappa(-/-)), but the ESTR mutation spectrum in POl kappa(-/-) animals did not differ from that in POl kappa(+/+) males. We suggest that compromised translesion synthesis in POl kappa(-/-) mice may result in replication fork pausing which, in turn, may affect ESTR mutation rate. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
