An Escherichia coli mutant has been isolated (Hek) in which the kil gene of bacteriophage Mu is not functionally expressed. The hek locus has been mapped between rpoD (66.2 min) and argR (69.5 min) on the E. coli chromosome. No influence of the hek mutation on phage or E. coli development could be d

The spontaneous DNA breakdown exhibited by recA strains, is reduced after heat induction of a thermoinducible Mu-1 prophage. This inhibition is dependent upon RNA synthesis, suggesting that Mu-1 directs synthesis of a recBC nuclease inhibitor, analogous to the product of the lambda gam gene. The gen
DNA fragments of phage PM2 restricted with Hin dIII endonuclease was cloned in the vector pBR 322 in an Escherichia coli K12 host. The attempt to clone full length PM2 DNA restricted with PstI endonuclease has been unsuccesful. From six randomly chosen recombinant clones DNA was purified and analyse
The production of several non-related heterologous proteins in recombinant Escherichia coli cells promotes a significant transcription of recA and sfiA SOS DNA repair genes. The activation of the SOS system occurs when the expression of plasmid-encoded genes is directed by the strong lambda lytic pr
