Abstract excerpt
We developed a system to examine forward mutations that occurred in the rpsL gene of Escherichia coli placed on a multicopy plasmid. Using this system we determined the mutational specificity for a dnaE173 mutator strain in which the editing function of DNA polymerase III is impeded. The frequency of rpsL- mutations increased 32,000-fold, due to the dnaE173 mutator, and 87 independent rpsL- mutations in the...
