Function of the UVR marker in dark repair of DNA molecules

Abstract

It was found earlier that the excision repair mechanism in Escherichia coli B/r Hcr/sup +/ could be depressed by pre-irradiation, amino acid and thymine starvation; such interference proved to have no appreciable influence on survival after ultraviolet irradiation. A comparison between Hcr/sup +/ and Hcr/sup -/ cells revealed that the former were capable of tolerating a greater amount of unexcised dimers than the latter. It is demonstrated in this paper that the above-mentioned pretreatment will depress excision activity also in cultures of E. coli K12 and E. coli 15T, both strains of the uvr/sup +/ rec/sup +/ genotype. A comparison of two E. coli K12 strains of the uvr/sup +/ and uvr/sup -/ genotype shows that uvr/sup +/ cells also have a greater capacity to tolerate unexcised dimers. To throw light on the nature of the increased capacity to tolerate unexcised dimers the restoration of DNA daughter chains in cells of the uvr/sup +/ and uvr/sup -/ genotype was compared and it was found that the integrity of uvr loci is a conditio sine qua non for an effective restoration of daughter chains, but that depression of excision activity by the mentioned pretreatment does not influence the restoration of DNA  More>>
