✦ Synopsis

Using various replication mutants of E. coli, the host genes that participate in the replication of some K12-specific single-stranded DNA phages have been determined. Functional products of dnaE, -F, -G and -Z genes are required for the multiplication of phiK, whereas dnaA, -B, -C(D), H, -I and -P are dispensable for viral replication. In contrast with polB, recA, B, C, or xth functions, host rep activity is essential for phiK. At the restrictive temperature, the yield of phiK was markedly reduced in the ligts7 mutant and partially decreased in a polAts strain. The phage phiK is thus less dependent on the host cells than phiX174 and phiA which require additionally the dnaB, -C(D) and -H functions. Replication of phage St-1 depends on dnaG and -Z gene products, but not on dnaP function. Although not much affected in polAts host, growth of St-1 was significantly diminished in dnaF or ligts7 mutants.

When UV-irradiated phiX174 was grown in pre-irradiated host cells of various strains, "ultraviolet reactivation" (UVR) was observed only in recombination proficient strains such as E. coli C (uvrA+ recA+) and HF4704 (uvrA- recA+), but not in the recombination deficient strain HF4712 (uvrA+ recA-).

Host capacity for growth of single-stranded DNA phages was investigated with several replication mutants of E. coli. In dnaL708, dnam709 and dnaS707 mutants, multiplication of phiK was not restricted even at 42 degree C. In dnaM710 cells, however, growth of phiK was severely effected at 42 degree C

The umuC product of Escherichia coli has been suggested to have a central role in SOS induced error prone replication of DNA (Kato and Shinoura 1977). To investigate this possibility, we examined the effect of umuC mutations on error prone repair of single and double-stranded DNA phages. No Weigle r
