Abstract excerpt
We studied the participation of the stress-inducible systems, as the OxyR, SoxRS and SOS regulons in the protection of Escherichia coli cells against lethal effects of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP). Moreover, we evaluated the participation of BER and NER in the repair of the DNA damage produced by CHP. Our results suggest that the hypersensitivity observed in the oxyR mutants to the lethal effect of CHP does not...
