The Escherichia coli mutator gene mutT, which causes A:T----C:G transversion, was cloned in pBR 322. mutT+ plasmids carry a 0.9 kb PvuII DNA fragment derived from the E. coli chromosome. Specific labelling of plasmid-encoded proteins by the maxicell method revealed that mutT codes for a polypeptide

Escherichia coli K12 strain KS40 and plasmid pKY241 were designed for easy screening of supF mutations in plasmid pZ189. KS40 is a nalidixic acid-resistant (gyrA) derivative of MBM7070 (lacZ(am)CA7020). Using in vitro mutagenesis, an amber mutation was introduced into the cloned gyrA structural gene
