Abstract excerpt
E coli recA430 mutants are recombination-proficient, extremely UV sensitive, UV nonmutable and partially deficient in RecA-mediated proteolysis and in RecA-dependent 'induced replisome reactivation' (IRR), the ability to recover DNA replication activity after UV irradiation. To determine how this pleiotropic phenotype can be altered by mutation, we isolated 10 independent derivatives of a recA430 strain,...
