The identification of a novel gene, MAPO2, that is involved in the induction of apoptosis triggered by O⁶-methylguanine.

O⁶-Methylguanine, one of alkylated DNA bases, is especially mutagenic. Cells containing this lesion are eliminated by induction of apoptosis, associated with the function of mismatch repair (MMR) proteins. A retrovirus-mediated gene-trap mutagenesis was used to isolate new genes related to the induc...
