Abstract excerpt
DNA interstrand cross-links, such as those formed by psoralen-UVA irradiation, are highly toxic lesions in both humans and bacteria, with a single lesion being lethal in Escherichia coli. Despite the lack of effective repair, human cancers and bacteria can develop resistance to cross-linking treatments, although the mechanisms of resistance remain poorly defined. Here, we subjected E. coli to repeated...
