Abstract excerpt
We examined the possibility that the ssb-1 and ssb-113 mutants exert some of their effects by interfering with the normal function of wild-type RecF protein. Consistent with this possibility, we found that recA803, which partially suppresses recF mutations, also partially suppresses both ssb mutations, as detected by an increase in UV resistance. No evidence was obtained for suppression of the defect in lexA...
