Induction of the SOS response in Escherichia coli inhibits Tn5 and IS50 transposition.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Nov 1991

Weinreich M D, Makris J C, Reznikoff W S

Abstract excerpt

In response to DNA damage or the inhibition of normal DNA replication in Escherichia coli, a set of some 20 unlinked operons is induced through the RecA-mediated cleavage of the LexA repressor. We examined the effect of this SOS response on the transposition of Tn5 and determined that the frequency of transposition is reduced 5- to 10-fold in cells that constitutively express SOS functions, e.g., lexA(Def)...
