Genetic control of the UV-induced SOS mutator effect in single- and double-stranded DNA phages.

Mutation research - 1 Jun 1990

Maenhaut-Michel G, Caillet-Fauquet P

Abstract excerpt

The SOS hypothesis postulated that the mutator effect on undamaged DNA that generates phage-untargeted mutagenesis (UTM) results directly from the mechanism of targeted mutagenesis. RecA protein, which stimulates the cleavage of both the LexA repressor and UmuD protein, and the UmuDC gene product...
