Abstract excerpt
The E. coli recA gene was introduced into the pso4-1 mutant of S. cerevisiae and transformants were treated with 8-MOP+UVA and 254-nm UV light. The results showed that the recA gene increased the resistance to the toxic effect of 8-MOP+UVA and restored the frequency of reversion of the pso4-1 mutants after both treatments. The presence of the recA gene stimulated expression of the small subunit of the...
