✦ Synopsis

Involvement of UV-inducible protein(s) in repair of various E. coli K-12 cell strains has been investigated using a procedure of double UV irradiation and postincubation with chloramphenicol. From the course of dose survival curves the following conclusions concerning significance of a UV-inducible protein have been drawn: 1. It is a very important for wild type cells; in these cells its early occurrence is necessary to prevent killing. 2. It is involved in repair of excision-deficient cells; however, its action early after UV is less urgent. 3. It is not involved at all in repair of lex mutant cells; 4. It exhibits some effect on survival of recA as well as recB mutant cells. We conclude that the protein is involved in excision repair as well as in resumption of DNA replication.

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

A new recombination gene called recR has been identified and located near dnaZ at minute 11 on the current linkage map of Escherichia coli. The gene was detected after transposon mutagenesis of a recB sbcB strain and screening for insertion mutants that had a reduced efficiency of recombination in H
