Abstract excerpt
An E. coli B Tab strain, EM121, was isolated that restricts T4 denA (DNA endonuclease II) mutants at 37 degrees C and above, but is permissive for wild-type T4 at all temperatures examined. At 42 degrees C, other mutants affected in nucleic acid metabolism (T4 dexA, regA and uvsW strains) are also restricted. Genetic analysis revealed that one mutation (rpoB5081) in the RNA polymerase beta subunit gene is...
