Table 2. ICL-induced transversions in XPA-proficient and -deficient human cells in the presence or absence of HMGB1.
| Transversions | XPA+/+ | XPA−/− | XPA+/+ (HMGB1-depleted) | XPA−/− (HMGB1-depleted) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HMGB1 depleted | ||||
| T→A | 45%* (9/20) | 30% (6/20) | 35% (7/20) | 15% (3/20) |
| T→G | 10% (2/20) | 15% (3/20) | 15% (3/20) | 45% (9/20) |
*Bold font highlights the predominant transversion event.
n = 20; mutants sequenced from three independent experiments.
The percentages shown have been calculated as mutations per plasmid sequenced.
