Recent studies have shown that PriA mutants are poorly viable, have high basal levels of SOS expression (SOSH), are recombination deficient (Rec-), sensitive to UV irradiation (UVS) and sensitive to rich media. These data suggest that priA's role may be more complex than previously thought and may involve both DNA replication and homologous recombination. Based on the PhiX174 system, mutations in priB and priC should cause phenotypes like those seen in priA2:kan mutants. To test this, mutations in priB and priC were constructed. We found that, contrary to the PhiX174 model, del(priB)302 and priC303:kan mutants have almost wild-type phenotypes. Most unexpectedly, we then found that the priBC double mutant had very poor viability and/or a slow growth rate (even less than a priA2:kan mutant). This suggests that priB and priC have a redundant and important role in Escherichia coli. The priA2:kan suppressor, dnaC809, partially suppressed the poor viability/slow growth phenotype of the priBC double mutant. The resulting triple mutant (priBC dnaC809 ) had small colony size, recombination deficiency and levels of SOS expression similar to a priA2:kan mutant. The priBC dnaC809 mutant, however, was moderately UVR and had good viability, unlike a priA2:kan mutant. Additional mutations in the triple mutant were selected to suppress the slow growth phenotype. One suppressor restored all phenotypes tested to nearly wild-type levels. This mutation was identified as dnaC820 (K178N) [mapping just downstream of dnaC809 (E176G)]. Experiments suggest that dnaC820 makes dnaC809 suppression of priA and or priBC mutants priB and or priC independent. A model is proposed for the roles of these proteins in terms of restarting collapsed replication forks from recombinational intermediates.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10540288?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hegde, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, S J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clark, A J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Madiraju, M V</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">recO and recR mutations delay induction of the SOS response in Escherichia coli.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Gen Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

In this communication, by measuring the in vivo levels of LexA repressor using anti-LexA antibodies, we show that recO and recR mutant strains are also not proficient in LexA cleavage reactions. In addition, we show that recO and recR mutations delay induction of beta-galactosidase activity expressed from a lexA-regulated promoter following exposure of cells to UV, thus further supporting the idea that recF, recO and recR gene products are needed for induction of the SOS response.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7862097?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandler, S J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clark, A J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RecOR suppression of recF mutant phenotypes in Escherichia coli K-12.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Bacteriol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Using plasmid derivatives that overexpress combinations of the recO+ and recR+ genes, we tested the hypothesis that high-level expression of recO+ and recR+ (recOR) in vivo will indirectly suppress the recF mutant phenotypes mentioned above. We found that overexpression of just recR+ from the plasmid will partially suppress both phenotypes. Expression of the chromosomal recO+ gene is essential for the recR+ suppression. Hence we call this RecOR suppression of recF mutant phenotypes. RecOR suppression of SOS induction is more efficient with recO+ expression from a plasmid than with recO+ expression from the chromosome. This is not true for RecOR suppression of UV sensitivity (the two are equal). Comparison of RecOR suppression with the suppression caused by recA801 and recA803 shows that RecOR suppression of UV sensitivity is more effective than recA803 suppression and that RecOR suppression of UV sensitivity, like recA801 suppression, requires recJ+. We present a model that explains the data and proposes a function for the recFOR epistasis group in the induction of the SOS response and recombinational DNA repair.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8206844?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
