Table 1. ICL-induced mutation spectra in XPA-proficient and -deficient human cells in the presence or absence of HMGB1.
| Base substitution | Insertion | Deletion | |
|---|---|---|---|
| XPA+/+ | 75% (15/20) | 0% (0/20) | 25% (5/20) |
| XPA−/− | 75% (15/20) | 0% (0/20) | 25% (5/20) |
| HMGB1 KD | |||
| XPA+/+ | 75% (15/20) | 0% (0/20) | 45% (9/20)* |
| XPA−/− | 70% (14/20) | 5% (1/20) | 50% (10/20)* |
*Clones containing more than one mutation.
n = 20; mutants sequenced from three independent experiments.
The percentages shown have been calculated as mutations per plasmid sequenced.
