uvrC gene function in excision repair in toluene-treated Escherichia coli.
We have examined the role of the uvrC gene in UV excision repair by studying incision, excision, repair synthesis, and DNA strand reformation in Escherichia coli mutants made permeable to nucleoside triphosphates by toluene treatment. After irradiation, incisions occur normally in uvrC cells in the presence of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a ligase-blocking agent, but cannot be detected ot...
متن کاملReconstitution of nucleotide excision nuclease with UvrA and UvrB proteins from Escherichia coli and UvrC protein from Bacillus subtilis.
Recently, an open reading frame which has a deduced amino acid sequence that shows 38% homology to Escherichia coli UvrC protein was found upstream of the aspartokinase II gene (ask) in Bacillus subtilis (Chen, N.-Y., Zhang, J.-J., and Paulus, H. (1989) J. Gen. Microbiol. 135, 2931-2940). We found that plasmids containing this open reading frame complement the uvrC mutations in E. coli. We join...
متن کاملNucleotide excision repair is a predominant mechanism for processing nitrofurazone-induced DNA damage in Escherichia coli.
Nitrofurazone is reduced by cellular nitroreductases to form N(2)-deoxyguanine (N(2)-dG) adducts that are associated with mutagenesis and lethality. Much attention recently has been given to the role that the highly conserved polymerase IV (Pol IV) family of polymerases plays in tolerating adducts induced by nitrofurazone and other N(2)-dG-generating agents, yet little is known about how nitrof...
متن کاملThe Role of Nucleotide Excision Repair in Restoring Replication Following UV-Induced Damage in Escherichia coli
Following low levels of UV exposure, Escherichia coli cells deficient in nucleotide excision repair (uvrA6 mutants) recover and synthesize DNA at near wild type levels, an observation that formed the basis of the post-replication recombination repair model. In this study, we characterized the DNA synthesis that occurs following UV-irradiation in the absence of nucleotide excision repair and sho...
متن کاملCoordination of dual incision and repair synthesis in human nucleotide excision repair.
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) requires the coordinated sequential assembly and actions of the involved proteins at sites of DNA damage. Following damage recognition, dual incision 5' to the lesion by ERCC1-XPF and 3' to the lesion by XPG leads to the removal of a lesion-containing oligonucleotide of about 30 nucleotides. The resulting single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) gap on the undamaged strand i...
