RecOR 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 کاملDefective transport and other phenotypes of a periplasmic "leaky" mutant of Escherichia coli K-12.
A mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 deficient in high-affinity leucine transport and related binding proteins was obtained by selecting for azaleucine resistance after bacteriophage Mu mutagenesis. We determined that the cause was a generalized loss of periplasmic binding proteins and a sharp decrease in the activity of transport systems requiring them. Other transport systems resistant to osmoti...
متن کاملEndonuclease V (nfi) mutant of Escherichia coli K-12.
Endonuclease V (deoxyinosine 3' endonuclease), the product of the nfi gene, has a specificity that encompasses DNAs containing dIMP, abasic sites, base mismatches, uracil, and even untreated single-stranded DNA. To determine its importance in DNA repair pathways, nfi insertion mutants and overproducers (strains bearing nfi plasmids) were constructed. The mutants displayed a twofold increase in ...
متن کاملA dnaT mutant with phenotypes similar to those of a priA2::kan mutant in Escherichia coli K-12.
The ability to repair damaged replication forks and restart them is important for cell survival. DnaT is essential for replication restart in vitro and yet no definite genetic analysis has been done in Escherichia coli K-12. To begin, dnaT822, an in-frame six-codon (87-92) deletion was constructed. DnaT822 mutants show colony size, cell morphology, inability to properly partition nucleoids, UV ...
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...
