The genome is constantly assaulted by oxidation reactions which are likely to be associated with oxygen metabolism, and oxidative lesions are generated by many types of oxidants. Such genotoxin-induced alterations in the genomic message have been implicated in aging and in several pathophysiological processes, particularly those associated with cancer. The guanine base (G) in genomic DNA is highly susceptible to oxidative stress due to having the lowest oxidation potential. Therefore, G-C-->T-A and G-C-->C-G transversion mutations frequently occur under oxidative conditions. One typical lesion of G is 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-guanine (8-oxoG), which can pair with A. This pairing may cause G-C-->T-A transversion mutations. Although the number of G-C-->C-G transversions is rather high under specific oxidation conditions such as riboflavin photosensitization, the molecular basis of G-C-->C-G transversions is not known.
