Excision repair and patch size in UV-irradiated bacteriophage T4.
We determined the average size of excision repair patches in repair of UV lesions in bacteriophage T4 by measuring the photolysis of bromodeoxyuridine incorporated during repair. The average patch was small, approximately four nucleotides long. In control experiments with the denV1 excision-deficient mutant, we encountered an artifact, a protein(s) which remained bound to phenol-extracted DNA a...
متن کاملBacteriophage T4 gene 32 participates in excision repair as well as recombinational repair of UV damages.
Gene 32 of phage T4 has been shown previously to be involved in recombinational repair of UV damages but, based on a mutant study, was thought not to be required for excision repair. However, a comparison of UV-inactivation curves of several gene 32 mutants grown under conditions permissive for progeny production in wild-type or polA- hosts demonstrates that gene 32 participates in both kinds o...
متن کاملNucleosomes determine their own patch size in base excision repair
Base excision repair (BER) processes non-helix distorting lesions (e.g., uracils and gaps) and is composed of two subpathways that differ in the number of nucleotides (nts) incorporated during the DNA synthesis step: short patch (SP) repair incorporates 1 nt and long patch (LP) repair incorporates 2-12 nts. This choice for either LP or SP repair has not been analyzed in the context of nucleosom...
متن کاملThermal rescue of UV-irradiated bacteriophage T4 and biphasic mode of action of the WXY system.
When ultraviolet-irradiated bacteriophage T4 is assayed at plating temperatures ranging from 20 degrees to 40 degrees, its survival increases at the higher temperatures. This "thermal rescue" requires an intact WXY system but not the denV pyrimidine dimer excision system. Mutation rates decrease with increasing temperature, indicating that some lesions processed in a mutagenic manner at lower t...
متن کاملPartial replication of UV-irradiated T4 bacteriophage DNA results in amplification of specific genetic areas.
Upon infection of Escherichia coli with bromodeoxyuridine-labeled t4 phage that had received 10 lethal hits of UV irradiation, a sizable amount of phage DNA was synthesized (approximately 36 phage equivalent units of DNA per infected bacterium), although very little multiplicity reactivation occurs. This progeny DNA was isolated and analyzed. This DNA was biased in its genetic representation, a...
