By deletion analysis we have defined a 1.1 kb segment required for driving autonomous replication of the plasmid pC194. The minimal replicon specifies a positive, RepH, and a negative, Inc8A, trans-acting product and their target sites. The RepH product has a Mr of 34.1 kDa, could be overproduced, a
Following UV irradiation of Bacillus subtilis there is a coordinate induction of: 1) a new protein, 2) a W-reactivation system, 3) a DNA modification system, and 4) prophages. These functions are induced following UV irradiation of repair proficient bacteria and mutants deficient in excision repair
Competent B. subtilis are more UV sensitive than the non-competent population of the culture. This increased sensitivity is lose in mutants unable to induce the 'SOS system' (recA1,, recG13), in mutants defective in the induction of prophage PBSX (xin), and in late stage competent cells. Moreover, b
The initial attachment of transforming DNA to competent Bacillus subtilis is temperature independent between 25 degrees and 45 degrees. However, below 15 degrees there is a significant reduction in the amount of DNA attached to compentent cells. The DNA that is attached at 4 degrees can lead to tran
Inactivation of the dna B or dna D gene product in Bacillus subtilis stimulates RNA and protein synthesis. Strains containing ts dna B and D mutations have been constructed by introducing the mutations by transformation into a thymine requiring strain which does not lyse during thymine starvation. T
