Abstract excerpt
To study the involvement of DNA replication in UV-induced illegitimate recombination, we examined the effect of temperature-sensitive dnaB mutations on illegitimate recombination and found that the frequency of illegitimate recombination was reduced by an elongation-deficient mutation, dnaB14, but not by an initiation-deficient mutation, dnaB252. This result indicates that DNA replication is required for...
