Abstract excerpt
UV treatment increases the frequency of Tn10 precise excision from different sites of the Escherichia coli chromosome. UV induction of Tn10 excision is not evidenced in a lexA3 (ind-) mutant carrying either a recA+ or a recA730 allele. High levels of RecA synthesized by a recA+ gene not repressible by LexA do not relieve the non-inducibility of Tn10 excision in a lexA3 (ind-) background. This indicates that the...
