Abstract excerpt
To study the mechanism of DNA gyrase-mediated illegitimate recombination in Escherichia coli, we isolated temperature-sensitive gyrA mutants that confer spontaneous illegitimate recombination and spontaneous induction of lambda prophage at higher frequencies than that in the wild-type. After reconstruction of single mutations by targeted mutagenesis, we confirmed that two single mutations, gyrAL492P and...
