RESUMO
We used strains carrying specific lacZ alleles to identify a new mutator locus in Escherichia coli which generates only G.C----T.A transversions among base substitutions. The locus, mutM, mapped near the cysE locus, which is at 81 min on the genetic map.

- MutM, a protein that prevents G.C----T.A transversions, is formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase.
- mutA and mutC: two mutator loci in Escherichia coli that stimulate transversions.
- The yeast rad18 mutator specifically increases G.C----T.A transversions without reducing correction of G-A or C-T mismatches to G.C pairs.
- Escherichia coli MutY protein has a guanine-DNA glycosylase that acts on 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine:guanine mispair to prevent spontaneous G:C-->C:G transversions.
