Ultraviolet-induced reversions of Salmonella his frameshift mutations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultraviolet (UV) light elicits reversions in 12 his frameshifts that also revert in response to ICR191. Reversion also is stimulated by UV in two of four spontaneously revertible, but ICR-negative, frameshifts.

The sequence spectrum of frameshift reversions obtained with a novel adaptive mutation assay in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Research on the mechanisms of adaptive mutagenesis in resting, i.e. non-replicating cells relies on appropriate mutation assays. Here we provide a novel procedure for the detection of frameshift-reverting mutations in yeast. Proliferation of non-reverted cells in this assay is suppressed by the lack of a fermentable carbon source. The test allele was constructed in a way that the reversions mim...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of the histidine operon control region of Salmonella typhimurium.
Mutants of the histidine operon control region (hisO) include two classes: (1) those completely unable to express the operon (His auxotrophs), and (2) prototrophs that are unable to achieve fully induced levels of operon expression (still His+ but sensitive to the drug amino-triazole). Using new, as well as previously existing hisO mutants, we constructed a fine-structure deletion map of GO. Mu...
متن کاملDouble mutations induced in Escherichia coli by ultraviolet light.
Double mutations to azide resistance and to bacteriophage T5 resistance of genes separated by more than 50 kilobases were induced in Escherichia coli WP2s in chemostat cultures by exposure to a single low dose of ultraviolet light. Frequencies of induced double mutations were three orders of magnitude greater than would be predicted by chance. Reversions from azide resistance and phage resistan...
متن کاملSpontaneous mutators of salmonella typhimurium LT2 generated by insertion of transposable elements.
Spontaneous mutators of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 were generated by inserting the transposable element Tn5 or Tn10 into the bacterial chromosome. Two mutators mapped at the position of the mutH and mutL loci of S. typhimurium, and two other mutators mapped at positions corresponding to the mutS and uvrD loci of Escherichia coli. A fifth mutator, mutB, did not map at a position corresponding to...
متن کاملSpontaneous and ICR191-A-induced frameshift mutations in the A gene of Escherichia coli tryptophan synthetase.
Frameshift mutant trpA21 was isolated after ultraviolet treatment and frameshift mutant trpA540 after ICR191-A (an acridine derivative) treatment of wild-type Escherichia coli K-12. The A proteins of spontaneous and ICR191-A-induced partial revertants of these mutants contained altered amino acid sequences one residue shorter than the comparable sequence in the A protein of wild-type bacteria. ...
