  Mouse genome project at BCM
ENU is an alkylating agent (See Figure) that is a powerful mutagen in mouse spermatogonial stem cells, producing single locus mutation frequencies of 6 X 10-3 to 1.5 x 10-3, equivalent to obtaining a mutation in a single gene of choice in one out of every 175 to 655 gametes screened.
The analysis of 61 sequenced germline mutations from 24 genes reveals that ENU predominantly modifies A.T base pairs, with 44% A.T to T.A transversions, 38% A.T to G.C transitions, 8% G.C. to C.G transversions, 5% A.T to C.G transitions, and 2% G.C to T.A transitions (See Figure).
G1 animals, heterozygous for ENU mutagenized chromosomes and Re are mated to mice hemizygous for a yellow-tagged deletion.

  ENU - Wikipedia
It has a mutation rate of 1 new mutation (at a particular gene) per 700 gametes.
The chemical is an alkylating agent, and acts by transferring the ethyl group of ENU to nucleobases (mainly thymine) in nucleic acids.
Its main target is the spermatogonial stem cells, from which mature sperm derive from.

 NIH Neurogenomics Project at Northwestern University :: Protocols
ENU mutagenesis screens provide a complimentary approach to gene targeting methods because both gain-of-function and loss-of-function alleles can be obtained, and importantly, no pre-existing knowledge of the target genes is required.
Chemical mutagenesis by ENU has great potential to generate an abundance of mutations in phenotype-driven screens, given that each of the approximately 30,000 mammalian genes is a potential target for inducing a mutation with a demonstrable, heritable phenotype.
Large-scale ENU mutagenesis allows researchers access to more genetic variants from which to select mutants for further study, e.g., those with more striking phenotypes that are not inherently polygenic.

 Author et al.
The ENU treated group rat colonal features revealed distinct histopathological changes such as mucosal and submucosal hyperproliferation of lymphocyte cells and lymphocytic invasion into the mucosal layer from the underlying submucosa (Figure 2 and Figure 3).
After the 5-azadCR administration of the ENU treated rats, it was seen that the drug reduced the number of lymphocytes in colonal tissues (Figure 5a, b).
ENU may possibly cause some changes in A/T to G/C or G/C to A/T sequences (19, 20) indicating that the high dose of ENU was effective in inducing mutations in colonal tissue changes.

 Forward mutation at the yg2 locus induced by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea
ENU is mutagenic in higher plants and animals.
ENU is a monofunctional alkylating agent and was found to be the most potent chemical mutagen in the Mouse Specific Locus test (W. Russell et al., 1979, Proc.
The induction of forward mutation at the yg2 locus is highly correlated with the concentration of ENU for both leaves (r = 0.97).

Enu was able to perform on her own with an accompanying orchestra.
In Europe, according to Enu, opera "is almost like pop music to them." She lamented that Americans "feel like it's not going to connect to them," but insisted that it's "all stuff we can relate to." For example, she said that such universal themes as death and love are at the core of most operas.

The mouse electrophoretic specific-locus test for induced germ-cell mutations, was used to determine the response of spermatogonial stem cells to a series of doses of the germ cell mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU).
Male DBA/2J and C57B1/6J mice were treated with doses of 50, 100, 200 or 250 mg/kg ENU and their progeny screened for electrophoretically-detectable mutations at 32 separate loci.
As expected, increasing doses of ENU led to increasing mutant frequencies.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Efficient gene-driven germ-line point mutagenesis of C57BL/6J mice
The ethylating chemical ENU is the most potent mutagen in the mouse, with a per-locus mutation frequency, based mainly on detecting mutant phenotypes at visibly marked loci, ranging from approximately 1/1500 for a single 250 mg/kg dose to 1/700 for a fractionated 4 × 100 mg/kg dose [3,4].
Since ENU induces primarily single base pair (bp) substitutions in DNA, it is especially useful for producing an allelic series of mutations in a gene, where each mutation may result in different degrees of severity of the mutant phenotype or even in completely different mutant phenotypes.
The power of ENU (and ethyl methanesulfonate) as a tool for the high-throughput functional annotation of gene sequences has been applied to two primary mutagenesis strategies in mice using either whole mice or mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells: the phenotype-driven mutagenesis screen [5-22] and, more recently, the gene-driven mutagenesis screen [22-30].

Because the medaka is an oviparous experimental animal, we were able to determine that approximately 90% of spontaneous as well as gamma-ray-induced total mutants died during development, irrespective of spermatogenesis stages at the time of exposure.
The increase in DL rates by ENU was essentially dose-dependent throughout 30 days after treatment, although the peak sensitivity was observed around 9 days, which corresponds to the exposure of male germ cells at the spermatid stage.
