RecOR suppression of recF mutant phenotypes in Escherichia coli K-12.
Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jun 1994
Sandler S J, Clark A J
Abstract excerpt
The recF, recO, and recR genes form the recFOR epistasis group for DNA repair. recF mutants are sensitive to UV irradiation and fail to properly induce the SOS response. Using plasmid derivatives that overexpress combinations of the recO+ and recR+ genes, we tested the hypothesis that high-level expression of recO+ and recR+ (recOR) in vivo will indirectly suppress the recF mutant phenotypes mentioned above. We...
