Effect of transcription on RecBC- and RecF-mediated recombination within the tryptophan operon of Escherichia coli K-12.
نویسنده
چکیده
Recombination between tryptophan gene mutations within the trp operon was determined among transductants for an outside linked cysB marker under conditions of repression and derepression. These studies, carried out with recipient strains utilizing the RecBC or RecF pathway, or a combination of these pathways of recombination, demonstrate that transcription of trp genes as regulated by the trp repressor has no significant effect on RecBC- or RecF-mediated recombination within the trp operon.

Homologous recombination in Escherichia coli: dependence on substrate length and homology.
We studied the in vivo recombination between homologous DNA sequences cloned in phage lambda and a pBR322-derived plasmid by assaying for the formation of phage-plasmid cointegrates by a single (or an odd number of) reciprocal exchange. (1) Recombination proceeds by the RecBC pathway in wild-type cells and by low levels of a RecF-dependent pathway in recBC- cells. The RecE pathway appears not t...
متن کاملPhage X Has an Analog of Escherichia coli rec 0 , recR and recF Genes
The RecF pathway catalyzes generalized recombination in Escherichia coli that is mutant for recBC, sbcB and sbcC. This pathway operating on conjugational recombination requires the recA, recF, recJ, recN, rec0, recQ, recR, ruvA, ruvB and ruvC genes. In contrast, X mutant for its own recombination genes, int, reda and red& requires only the recA and reg genes to recombine efficiently in recBC sb...
متن کاملProperties of Escherichia coli expressing bacteriophage P22 Abc (anti-RecBCD) proteins, including inhibition of Chi activity.
Escherichia coli strains bearing plasmids expressing phage P22 anti-RecBCD functions abc1 and abc2 were tested for the presence of recBC-like phenotypes. Abc2 induces moderate sensitivity to UV light in wild-type and recD mutant strains but severely sensitizes both recF and recJ mutants. Abc1 has little effect on UV sensitivity in wild-type or recF or recJ mutant hosts but increases the sensiti...
متن کاملRecQ DNA helicase is a suppressor of illegitimate recombination in Escherichia coli.
Bloom syndrome and Werner syndrome are genetic disorders in which an increased rate of chromosomal abnormality is observed. The genes responsible for these diseases, BLM and WRN, have been cloned and identified as homologs of the Escherichia coli recQ genes. We studied the effect of recQ mutations on illegitimate recombination, which is an aberrant biological event related to the chromosomal ab...
متن کاملrecF and recR are required for the resumption of replication at DNA replication forks in Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli containing a mutation in recF are hypersensitive to UV. However, they exhibit normal levels of conjugational or transductional recombination unless the major pathway (recBC) is defective. This implies that the UV sensitivity of recF mutants is not due to a defect in recombination such as occurs during conjugation or transduction. Here, we show that when replication is disrupted...
