Induction of SOS functions in Escherichia coli and biosynthesis of nitrosamine in rabbits by nitrogen dioxide.
Nitrogen dioxide induced SOS functions in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli K-12 and was mutagenic in Escherichia coli WP2. When a rabbit was administered aminopyrine intravenously and administered nitrogen dioxide by inhalation, N-nitrosodimethylamine was detected in its blood. Analysis was conducted with 15N-nitrosodimethylamine as an internal standard by a combination of capillary ...
متن کاملInduction of SOS functions by alkaline intracellular pH in Escherichia coli.
Alkalinization of intracellular pH (pHi) causes an increase in UV resistance in wild-type and pH-sensitive mutant (DZ3) cells of Escherichia coli. Utilizing cells transformed with a plasmid (pA7) which bears the uvrA promoter fused to galK galactokinase structural gene, it was shown that alkaline pHi leads to an increase in the specific activity of galactokinase. This effect was not displayed i...
متن کاملInduction of specific Escherichia coli genes by sublethal treatments with alkylating agents.
Fusions of the lac operon to genes induced by treatment with sublethal levels of alkylating agents have been selected from random insertions of the Mu-dl(ApRlac) phage by screening for induction of beta-galactosidase activity in the presence of methyl methanesulfonate. Genetic analysis reveals that these fusions resulted from insertion of Mu-dl(ApRlac) into two regions of the chromosome. One re...
متن کاملIn vivo role of Escherichia coli single-strand exonucleases in SOS induction by gamma radiation.
Ionizing radiation causes different types of genetic damage, ranging from base modifications to single- and double-stranded DNA breaks, which may be deleterious or even lethal to the cell. There are different repair or tolerance mechanisms to counteract the damage. Among them is the Escherichia coli SOS system: a set of genes that becomes activated upon DNA damage to confer better opportunities...
متن کاملGene expression caused by alkylating agents and cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) in Escherichia coli.
Previous work has demonstrated heterogeneous effects of methylating agents on induction of DNA damage inducible genes in Escherichia coli. These studies employed E. coli mutants that have fusions of the lac operon to genes induced by treatment with sublethal levels of alkylating agents. These mutants were selected from random insertions of the Mu-dl (Apr lac) phage by screening for induction of...
