Involvement of uvrD, exrA, and recB genes in the control of the postreplicational repair process

OSTI ID:4120089
Ultraviolet radiation survival studies support the hypothesis that the uvrD, exrA and recB mutations inhibit separate branches of the postreplicational repair process. Results suggest that each of the mutations uvrD, exrA, and recB acts on a branch of the postreplicational repair process which is at least partially independent of those inhibited by the other mutations. Since the uvrB and uvrD exrA recB strain was not as uv sensitive as the uvrB recA strain, at least one additional branch of postreplicational repair, possibly dependent on recF, must be postulated.
