Suppression of the UV-sensitive phenotype of Escherichia coli recF mutants by recA(Srf) and recA(Tif) mutations requires recJ+.
Mutations in recA, such as recA801(Srf) (suppressor of RecF) or recA441(Tif) (temperature-induced filamentation) partially suppress the deficiency in postreplication repair of UV damage conferred by recF mutations. We observed that spontaneous recA(Srf) mutants accumulated in cultures of recB recC sbcB sulA::Mu dX(Ap lac) lexA51 recF cells because they grew faster than the parental strain. We s...
متن کاملRecOR suppression of recF mutant phenotypes in Escherichia coli K-12.
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 me...
متن کاملRecovery of DNA replication in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli requires both excision repair and recF protein function.
After UV doses that disrupt DNA replication, the recovery of replication at replication forks in Escherichia coli requires a functional copy of the recF gene. In recF mutants, replication fails to recover and extensive degradation of the nascent DNA occurs, suggesting that recF function is needed to stabilize the disrupted replication forks and facilitate the process of recovery. We show here t...
متن کاملrecF-dependent and recF recB-independent DNA gap-filling repair processes transfer dimer-containing parental strands to daughter strands in Escherichia coli K-12 uvrB.
The processes for repairing DNA daughter-strand gaps were studied in UV-irradiated uvrB, uvrB recB, uvrB recF, and uvrB recB recF cells of Escherichia coli K-12. The dimer-containing parental DNA was found to be joined to daughter strands during postreplication repair in all four strains examined. Therefore, both the major (recF-dependent) and the minor (recF recB-independent) gap-filling proce...
متن کاملFrameshift suppression by thyA mutants of Escherichia coli K-12.
We have extended our previous study on the suppression of frameshift mutants by Escherichia coli thyA mutants by assaying suppression of 15 rIIB frameshift mutants of bacteriophage T4 on one of our suppressing thyA mutant strains. The majority of insertion mutants were suppressible, whereas none of the deletion mutants tested was suppressible. Frameshift suppression could be inhibited by adding...
