Levels of the Vsr endonuclease do not regulate stationary-phase reversion of a Lac- frameshift allele in Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt
Vsr endonuclease, which initiates very short patch repair, has been hypothesized to regulate mutation in stationary-phase cells. Overexpression of Vsr does dramatically increase the stationary-phase reversion of a Lac- frameshift allele, but the absence of Vsr has no effect. Thus, at least in thi...
