Replication-independent H-DNA-induced genetic instability in HeLa cell extracts. (A) H-DNA-induced mutation frequencies in the presence (SV40T+) or absence (SV40T-) of replication in HeLa cell-free extracts. The number of mutants observed and the total number of colonies screened are listed below the corresponding bars. Error bars show the standard errors of the mean value of three independent experiments. (B) H-DNA-induced cleavage in replication-incompetent HeLa cell extracts. A radiolabeled 400-bp fragment containing SSBs generated in HeLa cell extracts (+) is indicated by an arrow, and the radiolabeled shorter fragments indicative of H-DNA-induced DSBs in HeLa cell extracts are marked with “”. Plasmids incubated in the absence of HeLa cell extracts (-) served as controls.
