Codon 12 of KRAS in bronchial epithelial cells is a DNA-binding 'hot spot' of the cigarette smoke carcinogen BP, due to both a preferential binding of anti-BPDE at the first dG in this codon and the inefficient DNA repair that follows.

Demonstrates that the NER-catalysed excision of (+)-trans-anti-BPDE-dG fails when its deoxycytosine base pair is deleted. This is known as the 'prototypic decay adduct'. Bulky lesions opposite deoxycytosine deletion are also normally present in cells as an intermediate after replicative bypass of AAF or BP adducts.
