The expression and stability of Escherichia coli F-primes in Proteus mirabilis is examined. It is possible to consecutively introduce, and stably maintain, the DNA of several E. coli F-primes in P. mirabilis in the absence of selective pressure for all or some of the plasmids. Additionally, we can r
The cloned recA + gene of Proteus mirabilis substitutes for a defective RecA protein in Escherichia coli recA-mutants, and restores recombination, repair and phage induction functions to near normal levels. In a previous report, we described the purification and characterisation of the recombination
## Abstract L‐amino acid deaminases catalyze the deamination of natural L‐amino acids. Two types of L‐amino acid deaminase have been identified in __Proteus__ species. One exhibits high levels of activity toward a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic L‐amino acids, typically L‐phenylalanine, wherea
We examined the possibility that the recA441 mutation, which partially suppresses the UV sensitivity of uvr recF mutant bacteria, exerts its effect by coding for an altered RecA protein that competes more efficiently than the RecA+ protein with SSB for ssDNA in vivo. Using an assay measuring recombi
Recombination of T4 phage is not controlled by the host recA gene but by an analogous phage gene, uvsX. We have tested the hypothesis that recA protein is inactive in T4-infected cells because it is unable to catalyze reactions involving single stranded DNA containing glucosyl-hydroxylmethyl-deoxycy
