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

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
In Neurospora crassa the qa-2 gene, which encodes catabolic dehydroquinase, is under positive control exerted by the inducer quinic acid and an activator protein encoded in the closely linked qa-1 gene. In order to determine if this regulatory mechanism is maintained when the qa-2 gene is cloned on
