A temperature-sensitive mutant of E. coli with a defective DNA gyrase B subunit has been obtained. The mutation is expressed in the thermolability of DNA gyrase in vitro and in DNA relaxation in vivo. DNA replication in the mutant does not stop under non-permissive conditions; its rate gradually fal
The mutation recL152 leads to a reduction of excision repair as measured by an increase in the time required to close uvrA uvrB dependent incision breaks, and by a reduction of host cell reactivation ability. Postreplication repair is also delayed when measured in a uvrB5 recL152 double mutant. Such
Mutants of Escherichia coli completely deficient in RNase H activity were isolated by inserting transposon Tn3 into the structural gene for RNase H, rnh, and its promoter. These rnh- mutants exhibited the following phenotypes; (1) the mutants grew fairly normally, (2) rnh- cells could be transformed
