Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that lack of molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) in Escherichia coli leads to hypersensitivity to the mutagenic and toxic effects of N-hydroxylated base analogues, such as 6-N-hydroxylaminopurine (HAP). However, the nature of the MoCo-dependent mechanism is unknown, as inactivation of all known and putative E. coli molybdoenzymes does not produce any sensitivity. Presently, we report on the...
