Mutagenic DNA repair in Escherichia coli. XIX. On the roles of RecA protein in ultraviolet light mutagenesis.

Biochimie - 1 Apr 1991

Bates H, Bridges B A

Abstract excerpt

An experimental system was used in which His+ mutations induced by ultraviolet light (UV) arise from non-photo-reversible photoproducts whereas lethality is largely determined by photoreversible photoproducts. By exposing a strain with a deletion through recA to light immediately after UV, it was...
