Mutants carrying recF143 or recF144 show wild type levels of host cell reactivation of UV-irradiated lambdavir and wild type rates of excision gap closure in repairing UV damage to their own DNA. The same mutants showed reduced rates of postreplication repair strand joining. When uvrA- recF- or uvrB

Selection for defective reversion induction, after UV treatment of E. coli K 12, yielded uvm mutants. These mutants exhibited highly reduced or no UV mutability for all loci tested although they were moderately and normally mutable by X-rays and EMS, respectively. Uvm mutations confer only a slight
Uvm mutants of Escherichia coli K12 selected for defective UV reversion induction have previously been reported to differ considerably from the UV-reversion-less recA and lexA mutants with regard to survival or mutagenic response to UV, X-rays and alkylating agents. In the present study, the phenoty

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
