DNA methylation and mutator genes in Escherichia coli K-12.

Mutation research - 1 Oct 2010

Marinus Martin G

Abstract excerpt

Mutator strains of Escherichia coli have been used to define mechanisms that account for the high fidelity of chromosome duplication and chromosome stability. Mutant strains defective in post-replicative mismatch repair display a strong mutator phenotype consistent with a role for correction of mismatches arising from replication errors. Inactivation of the gene (dam) encoding DNA adenine methyltransferase...
