Abstract excerpt
We have performed a screening of hydroxyurea (HU)-sensitive mutants using a single-gene-deletion mutant collection in Escherichia coli K-12. HU inhibits ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of deoxyribonucleotides. Unexpectedly, seven of the mutants lacked genes that are required for the incorporation of sulfur into a specific tRNA modification base,...
