The DnaA protein is the key DNA initiation protein in Escherichia coli. Using transcriptional and translational fusions, comparative S1 nuclease mapping and immunoblot analysis, the regulation of dnaA in relation to inducible responses to DNA damage was studied. We found that DNA damage caused by mi

The genetic organisation of the ruv gene, a component of the SOS system for DNA repair and recombination in Eseheriehia toll, was investigated. New point mutations as well as insertions and deletions were generated using transposon TnlO inserted in eda as a linked marker for site specific mutagenesi
We have cloned a 14 kb DNA segment containing the coding sequence (polC) for DNA polymerase III (PolIII) from the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. The plasmid carrying the sequence, pRO10, directs the synthesis of the 160 kDa PolIII protein and three additional polypeptides in Escherichia coli maxicell
The dnaN and dnaQ genes encode the beta subunit and the epsilon subunit of the DNA polymerase III holoenzyme. Using translational fusions to lacZ we found that DNA damage caused by mitomycin C induces expression of the dnaA and dnaQ genes. This induction was not observed in lexA and recA mutants whi
