The Mud(Aplac) operon fusion technique of Casadaban and Cohen (1979) was used to search for inducible functions specific to the RecF pathway of conjugal recombination. A fusion mutant of a recBC sbcB mutant which showed less than 1% of the normal level of recombination in Hfr crosses has been isolat

Mutants carrying recF143 or recF144 show wild type levels of host cell reactivation of UV-irradiated lambdavir and wild type rates of excision gap closure in repairing UV damage to their own DNA. The same mutants showed reduced rates of postreplication repair strand joining. When uvrA- recF- or uvrB
In Escherichia coli the iron uptake systems are regulated by the fur gene product. The synthesis of the outer membrane proteins fiu, fepA, fecA, fhuA, fhuE and cir is derepressed at low iron concentrations in the medium or constitutive in a fur mutant. The fur gene region cloned into pACYC184 was an
The dam gene of E. coli can be inactivated by insertion of Tn9 or Mud phage. Strains bearing these mutations are viable indicating that the dam gene product is dispensable.
To study the structure-function relationship of outer membrane pore proteins of E. coli K12, a hybrid gene was constructed in which the DNA encoding amino acid residues 2-73 of the mature PhoE protein is replaced by the homologous part of the related ompF gene. The product of this gene is incorporat
