Associations of uvrA with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of uvrA

  • The transcriptional regulation of the ssb and uvrA genes from P. mirabilis and S. marcescens in SOS-induced E. coli cells was studied using lacZ fusions [21].
  • We reported earlier that the SOS box of the neighbouring uvrA gene also controls the transcription of the ssb gene [22].
  • These results establish that uvrA is repressed by lexA in vivo whereas ssbA is not [23].
 

Other interactions of uvrA

  • The cloned uvrA and uvrB genes were placed under control of the E. coli bacteriophage lambda PL promoter for amplification of expression [24].
  • We have cloned the soxR locus, which is positioned near the uvrA gene at 92.2 min on the genetic map, by monitoring complementation of a delta soxR mutation [25].
  • Introduction of the delta polA mutation into uvrA recF cells made them deficient in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks after UV irradiation [26].
  • The lack of derepression of recA, uvrA and alkA indicated that damage to the DNA was not induced in the E. coli strains tested [27].
  • Unlike in E. coli, the expression levels of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) component genes uvrA, uvrB, and uvrD were not damage inducible in MR-1 [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of uvrA

  • Expression of the denV gene product, endonuclease V, was confirmed in DNA repair-deficient Escherichia coli (uvrA recA) by Western blot analyses and by enhancements of resistance to UV irradiation [28].
  • Mutagenic potential of static magnetic fields up to 5T (T:1T=10,000 G) was not detected by the bacterial mutagenicity test using four strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA either in the pre-incubation method or in the plate incorporation method [29].
