An Escherichia coli recA phr+ purA strain was more resistant to ultraviolet radiation than its isogenic derivative recA phr+ purA+ in the absence of photoreactivating light, whereas their nearly isogenic derivative recA phr showed most UV-induced lethality. The amounts of photoreactivating enzyme (P

The Escherichia coli recA protein coding region was ligated into an extrachromosomally replicating yeast expression vector downstream of the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase promoter region to produce plasmid pADHrecA. Transformation of the wild-type yeast strains YNN-27 and 7799-4B, as well as the recom
The E. coli recA gene was cloned from the phage lambda precA into the vector pBR313. A plasmid, pJL3, was also isolated by cloning a portion of the recA gene into the vector pBR322. pJL3 coded for a fragment of the recA protein 34 Kd (kilodaltons) in size (compared to 40 Kd for the intact protein).
A mutant strain of E. coli displaying altered regulation of the recA gene was isolated as a revertant of a lexA3 recA200 double mutant which showed improved DNA repair and recombination functions. The mutation (alc-24) was located between srl and recA200 and caused synthesis of high levels of recA p
