Mutations in these genes also cause decreases in cell viability and alterations in UV-inducible sulAp-lacZ (SOS) expression. To find out if the two genes are in the same or different pathways for viability and SOS expression, the phenotypes of the double mutant strains were studied. The recF priA double mutant showed a lower viability and SOS expression level than either of the single mutants. In the case of cell viability, recF missense mutations decreased viability of a priA2::kan strain two to five-fold whereas recF null priA2::kan double mutants were not viable at all. dnaC809, a mutation that suppresses the UV-sensitive (UVs and Rec- phenotypes of priA2::kan, restored cell viability, but not UV-inducible SOS expression, to a priA recF strain. Since recF is epistatic with recO and recR (recOR) for UV resistance, recOR mutations were also tested with priA2::kan. No overlap was found between recOR and priA for viability and SOS expression. It is concluded that priA and recF have two different overlapping functions in viability and SOS expression that are distinguishable by the effects of dnaC809. The role of recF in a priA2::kan strain in cell viability is a new function for recF and unlike recF's other roles in DNA repair and recombination, is independent of recOR. A new role for priA in UV-inducible SOS expression in a recF mutant is also defined.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8820655?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%">Mutational analysis of sequences in the recF gene of Escherichia coli K-12 that affect expression.</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.

In this region of recF, we found a previously described ribosome-interactive sequence called epsilon and a hexapyrimidine tract located just upstream of the epsilon sequence. Mutational studies indicate that the hexapyrimidine sequence is involved in at least some of the reduced translation. When the hexapyrimidine sequence is mutant, mutating epsilon increases the level of translation maximally. We ruled out the possibility that ribosome frameshifting explains most of the effect of these two sequences on expression and suspect that multiple mechanisms may be responsible. In a separate report, we show that mutations in the hexapyrimidine tract and epsilon increase expression of the full-sized recF gene.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8021183?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
