✦ Synopsis

Postreplication repair and its inhibition by chloramphenicol and caffeine, as seen in alkaline sucrose gradients, were compared between a uv non-mutable strain uvrA- umuC- and normally mutable strains uvrA- recF- and uvrA- umu+rec+ of Escherichia coli K-12. The uvrA- umuC- strain performed postreplication repair as efficiently as the parental strain, while the repair in uvrA- recF- strain was dependent on UV dose. Both chloramphenicol and caffeine inhibited postreplication repair to an equal extent of about 25%, and 10%, respectively, in all three uvrA- strains of umuC36, recF- and umu+rec+. These observations suggest that postreplication repair is largely not responsible for UV mutagenesis.

Mutation of the ruv gene of E. coli is associated with sensitivity to radiation, and filamentous growth after transient inhibition of DNA synthesis. The filamentation of ruv strains is abolished by mutations in sfiA or sfiB that prevent SOS induced inhibition of cell division, but this does not rest
