Abstract
UV mutagenesis to His+ in certain recA441 lexA51 bacteria was not photoreversible, indicating that pyrimidine dimers are not target lesions. Photoreversibility was observed in recA+ lexA51 bacteria, showing that pyrimidine dimers are needed to activate the recA+ protein (unlike the recA441 protein) to perform a function in UV mutagenesis distinct from cleavage of the lexA repressor.Entities:
