Abstract excerpt
An unconventional DNA repair termed SIR (SOS Independent Repair), specific to mitomycin C (MMC) damage elicited by a combination of specific Rif(R) (rpoB87) and Nal(R) (gyrA87) mutations in SOS un-inducible strains of Escherichia coli was reported by Kumaresan and Jayaraman (1988). We report here that the rpoB87 mutation defines a C(1565)→T(1565) transition changing S(522)→F(522) and gyrA87 defines a...
