Recovery 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 کاملThe Role of Nucleotide Excision Repair in Restoring Replication Following UV-Induced Damage in Escherichia coli
Following low levels of UV exposure, Escherichia coli cells deficient in nucleotide excision repair (uvrA6 mutants) recover and synthesize DNA at near wild type levels, an observation that formed the basis of the post-replication recombination repair model. In this study, we characterized the DNA synthesis that occurs following UV-irradiation in the absence of nucleotide excision repair and sho...
متن کاملDNA structures generated during recombination initiated by mismatch repair of UV-irradiated nonreplicating phage DNA in Escherichia coli: requirements for helicase, exonucleases, and RecF and RecBCD functions.
During infection of homoimmune Escherichia coli lysogens ("repressed infections"), undamaged nonreplicating lambda phage DNA circles undergo very little recombination. Prior UV irradiation of phages dramatically elevates recombinant frequencies, even in bacteria deficient in UvrABC-mediated excision repair. We previously reported that 80-90% of this UvrABC-independent recombination required Mut...
متن کاملParticipation of recombination proteins in rescue of arrested replication forks in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli need not involve recombination.
Alternative reproductive cycles make use of different strategies to generate different reproductive products. In Escherichia coli, recA and several other rec genes are required for the generation of recombinant genomes during Hfr conjugation. During normal asexual reproduction, many of these same genes are needed to generate clonal products from UV-irradiated cells. However, unlike conjugation,...
متن کاملRole of DNA polymerases in excision repair in Escherichia coli.
The excision repair process following ultraviolet irradiation has been fractionated into its individual steps in toluene-treated cells. Incision can be examined in vitro independently of other reactions by omission of the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates which prohibits repair synthesis and causes incisions to accumulate. Incision requires ATP, continues from 10 to 15 min at 37”, and is specif...
