Abstract excerpt
The precise excision of transposon Tn10 and a mini-Tn10 derivative, inserted in the gal or lac operons, was studied in dnaB252 and dnaE486 temperature-sensitive mutants of Escherichia coli. dnaB codes for a DNA replication helicase and dnaE for the alpha subunit of DNA polymerase III. Mutations in these genes were found to enhance, at the permissive temperature, the precise excision of both genetic elements. The...
