Abstract

The role of inducible cell functions in repair and mutagenesis after bleomycin-induced DNA damages was studied in Escherichia coli. Influence on these processes of some rec genes as well as sbcB, the structural gene for exonuclease I, was investigated. The data obtained suggest that this enzyme plays a negative role in the repair of DNA damaged by bleomycin. The hypersensitivity of recA mutant to bleomycin and recAlexA-dependence of bleomycin-induced mutagenesis do not suggest any principal differences between UV-induced pyrimidine dimers and apyrimidinic sites in the case of post-replication repair.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
