Popis: Ion beams have several significantly interesting features, such as high biological effect and unique mutation spectrum. In this study, the effects of double strand breaks and 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) caused by ion-beam irradiation were examined. We irradiated repair-gene-inactive strains rad52, ogg1, and msh2 using carbon ions beams, analyzed the lethality and characterized the mutations. The present observations suggested that nucleotide incorporation of oxidative damage gave only a limited effect on cell viability and genome fidelity. We also detected a hotspot at around +79 to +98 in URA3 in wild-type and mutant lines, suggesting the presence of a mutation-susceptible region.
