Chemical compound and disease context of uvrC

 

Biological context of uvrC

  • Plasmids carrying this PstI fragment, in either orientation (pGY3233, pGY4211) relative to the cloning vehicle, complement uvrC mutants [14].
  • The regulatory region of the Escherichia coli uvrC gene has been analysed by the subcloning of appropriate restriction fragments into the promoter probe vector pPV502 [15].
  • Analysis of the regulatory elements of the Escherichia coli uvrC gene by construction of operon fusions [15].
  • Using the phi X174 RF DNA-E. coli transfection system, we have found that BPDE-I or BPDE-II modified phi X174 RF DNA has much lower transfectivity in uvrA, uvrB, and uvrC mutant cells compared to wild type cells [16].
  • We have sequenced the control region of the uvrC protein including two open reading frames (ORF) encoding polypeptides of 28 kd and 23 kd molecular weight [17].
 

Associations of uvrC with chemical compounds

  • We find that the uvrC gene is preceded by three promoters (P1, P2 and P3), identified by heparin-resistant RNA polymerase-DNA complex formation, P2 and P3 promoters are located proximal to the 5' end of the uvrC gene, while the P1 promoter is separated from the uvrC structural gene by an interposed DNA region of more than 1 kb [18].
  • Further experiments indicated that chloroquine-induced reversion frequencies were essentially identical in wild-type, recA, umuC and uvrC derivatives of DG1669, as well as in strains carrying the mutation enhancing plasmid pKM101, over a wide range of doses (0-1200 micrograms/plate) [19].
 

Physical interactions of uvrC

  • The addition of the uvrD protein to the incised DNA-uvrABC complex also results in turnover of only the uvrC protein [20].
