UV protection and mutagenesis in uvrD, uvrE and recL strains of Escherichia coli carrying the pKM101 plasmid.

P A Todd, B W Glickman.   

Abstract

The effect of the pKM101 plasmid on UV mutagenesis and survival was examined in DNA-repair-deficient strains of E. coli carrying the uvrD, uvrE and recL mutations. Although enhancement of UV mutagenesis by pKM101 was found in all 3 strains, UV protection was only observed in the uvrD strain. We conclude that the plasmid not only requires lexA+ recA+ functions of the cell, but also those of uvrE+ recL+ for its UV-protective effect.
