Localization of the plasmid (pKM101) gene(s) involved in recA+lexA+-dependent mutagenesis.

W G Shanabruch, G C Walker.   

Abstract

Twenty Tn5 insertion mutants of the drug resistance plasmid pKM101 have been isolated that are unable to enhance mutagenesis with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation or methyl methanesulfonate. By restriction mapping, the Tn5 insertion in each of these pKM101 mutants was shown to be within a 1.9 kb region of the plasmid genome. We have termed this segment of the pKM101 map the muc (mutagenesis: UV and chemical) gene(s). Characterization of these mutants indicated that any Tn5 insertion within the muc gene(s) abolished the ability of pKM101 to: (a) enhance spontaneous, UV and chemical mutagenesis, (b) increase host survival following UV-irradiation, (c) increase the survival of UV-irradiated phage plated on irradiated or unirradiated cells, and (d) suppress the repair and mutagenesis deficiencies of a umuC- mutant. Possible models to explain the role of the pKM101 muc gene(s) in mutagenesis and repair are discussed.
