Specificity of Escherichia coli mutD and mutL mutator strains.

Gene - 1 Mar 1990

Wu T H, Clarke C H, Marinus M G

Abstract excerpt

The products of the mutD and mutL genes of Escherichia coli are involved in proofreading by DNA polymerase III and DNA adenine MTase (Dam)-dependent mismatch repair, respectively. We have used the plasmid-borne bacteriophage P22 mnt gene as a target to determine the types of mutations produced in...
