Complementation of a pKM101 derivative that decreases resistance to UV killing but increases susceptibility to mutagenesis.

Mutation research - 1 Jan 2000

Langer P J, Perry K L, Walker G C

Abstract excerpt

The drug resistance plasmid pKM101 makes Escherichia coli resistant to the lethal effects of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and more susceptible to mutagenesis by a variety of agents. The plasmid operon responsible for increasing mutagenesis has been termed mucAB (Mutagenesis, UV and chemical). We have isolated a derivative of pKM101 called pGW1975 which makes cells more sensitive to killing by UV but which retains...
