Starting from a transcription-defective strain harbouring a temperature-sensitive mutation in the fit gene, a rifampicin-resistant, temperature-insensitive derivative has been isolated. Genetic analysis of this derivative demonstrated the presence of a second temperature-sensitive mutation in the sa

To determine the influence of DNA repair by Ogt alkyltransferase. The Ogt protein appears more efalkyltransferase on the distribution of alkylnitro-ficient at repairing O 6 -ethylguanine lesions, which sourea-induced mutations, we have analysed in are flanked 5 by a G or C, in agreement with pre-Ogt
In the absence of nucleotide excision repair, the spectra were dominated by G:CrA:T transitions, additional deficiency of the DNA alkyltransferase consistent with the major role of the O 6 -alkylguanine (ATase) encoded by the constitutive ogt gene of miscoding lesion in mutagenesis by alkylating Esc
We analysed the effects on the expression of the gal operon of six phenotypically different mutations in the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase genes in combination with wild-type, rho, and mutant, rho15, alleles of the gene for the transcription termination factor. RNA polymerase mutations can enhance
