Abstract excerpt
The ability of recA718, recA720, recA730, recA750 and two known recA(Srf) alleles (recA2020 and recA441) to act as suppressors of recF, recR and recO mutations was examined by studying their UV radiation sensitivity in uvrA cells of Escherichia coli. With the exception of recA718, all the mutant recA alleles examined were able to suppress the UV radiation sensitivity caused by recF, recR or recO mutations, but...
