Abstract excerpt
UV mutagenesis in Escherichia coli requires the groES+EL+ chaperonins as well as the umuD+C+ SOS-regulated genes. GroES and GroEL appear to be required to stabilize UmuC. The mucA+B+ genes, which are encoded on a broad host range plasmid, are functionally analogous and structurally similar to the umuD+C+ genes of E. coli. While these gene pairs are quite similar, differences have been reported in the functioning...
