Abstract
Escherichia coli nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase mutants have an increased frequency of spontaneous mutation, possibly due to uracil misincorporation into DNA. Here we show that NDP kinase mutants are dependent on translesion DNA synthesis, often a mutagenic form of DNA synthesis, to prevent mutagenesis.Entities:
