Abstract excerpt
Strains of Salmonella typhimurium deficient in topoisomerase I activity (topA mutants) are UV sensitive and non-mutable (Overbye and Margolin: J Bacteriol 146:170-178, 1981). Using lac-operon fusions to DNA damage inducible (din) loci we investigated whether these observations could be explained by an inability of topA strains to efficiently induce DNA damage responses. Mitomycin C (MMC)-induced expression of...
