Abstract excerpt
Polyamines are polycationic compounds that have been implicated in a variety of cellular processes. We first report that the expression of recA and uvrA genes in Escherichia coli is inducible by polyamines. The recA and uvrA genes were effectively inducible by spermine (tetra-amine) and less effectively inducible by spermidine (tri-amine). On the other hand, both genes were not significantly inducible by...
