A second gene involved in mismatch repair in Streptococcus pneumoniae, the hexB gene, has been characterised. The gene was cloned into a multicopy plasmid vector. The cloned hexB gene is expressed as judged by its ability to complement a chromosomal hexB- allele. Its direction of transcription and i
