Abstract
L-Cystine and L-cysteine specifically reverse the mutagenic action of azide in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. To establish whether the L-cysteine biosynthetic pathway is involved in azide-induced mutagenesis, several derivatives of a mutagen tester-strain of S. typhimurium bearing mutations in different cys genes were isolated. No mutagenic effect of azide was observed in a strain carrying mutation in the cysE gene, unless the incubation medium was supplemented with exogenous O-acetylserine. Our of 16 cysK mutants 14 were mutagenized by azide very poorly or not at all. These results indicate that the activity of O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase A, and the availability of O-acetylserine, one of the two co-substrates of the enzyme, are essential for the mutagenic action of azide in S. typhimurium.
