✦ Synopsis

We have found that several excision deficient derivatives of Escherichia coli K12 survive better after UV irradiation if incubated at 42 degrees C than if incubated at 30 degrees C. The highest survival was observed when incubation at 42 degrees C followed UV irradiation and was maintained for at least 16 h. Our results indicate that this temperature dependent resistance (TDR) requires a functional recA gene, but not uvrA, uvrB, recF, or recB genes, or the recA441 (tif-1) mutation which allows thermoinduction of the recA-lexA regulon. Our data are consistent with the idea that the increase in survival observed at 42 degrees C reflects enhanced daughter-strand gap repair by DNA strand exchange. Although the conditions used to elicit TDR can induce heat shock proteins and thermotolerance in E. coli, the relationship between the two responses remains to be elucidated.

UV-radiation-induced lesions in DNA result in the formation of excision gaps, daughter-strand gaps (DSG) and double-strand breaks (DSB), which are repaired by several different mechanisms. Postreplication repair. The recA gene is a master gene that controls all of the pathways of postreplication rep

It has been found that UV irradiation of dnaA mutants of E. coli K-12 enables the initiation of DNA synthesis at a temperature restrictive to these mutants. The UV-induced DNA synthesis is dependent on protein synthesis and on a transcriptional event at a time when protein synthesis is no longer req

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
