Mechanism of expression of DNA repair gene vsr, an Escherichia coli gene that overlaps the DNA cytosine methylase gene, dcm.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Aug 1993

Dar M E, Bhagwat A S

Abstract excerpt

The DNA cytosine methylase gene of Escherichia coli, dcm, overlaps an open reading frame (ORF) that continues in +1 register past the end of dcm. This ORF codes for a gene, vsr, that is required for a T:G to C:G base mismatch correction process. In this study, mutants that affect the level of exp...
