Abstract
Bacterial survival after UV irradiation was increased in E. coli K12 lexB30 and tif zab-53 mutants harboring plasmid pKM101. Mutagenesis in response to UV was observed in these bacteria which, in absence of pKM101, are not UV-mutable. The mutator effect observed in unirradiated wild-type cells containing pKM101 was higher than incubation at 30 degrees C with adenine than at 37 degrees C. This effect was still enhanced by tif mutation, even in the tif zab-53 strain, but it was abolished by lexB30 mutation. In the tif zab-53 (pKM101) strain, repair and mutagenesis of UV-irradiated phage lambda was observed, but not in the lexB30 mutant carrying pKM101. The pKM101 mutant, pGW1, was unable to protect tif zab-53 bacteria against killing by UV, whereas the protection of lexB30 was intermediate; moreover, it did not promote the mutator effect at 30 degrees C or enhance phage repair and mutagenesis in tif zab-53 cells. All UV-induced bacterial mutations in lexB30 (pKM101) strain were suppressors; in contrast, true revertants were found after UV irradiation of the tif zab-53 (pKM101) cells. We suggest that the constitutive activity of RecA protein is enough for the production of UV-promoted suppressor mutations, whereas true reversions ...Continue Reading
