Are Escherichia coli dam- as compared to dam+ hypermutable by base analogs?

Abstract:

:It was shown that some base analogs, like n2Pur and n2oh6Ade (but not n2om6Ade or oh4Cyd) which strongly inhibit growth of dam- cells, mutagenize and preselect dam- populations. As a result dam- mut(-)--devoid of mismatch repair, dam+ revertants, or dam(-)--insensitive to a base analog are exclusively obtained after mutagenesis. The composition of these mutants depends on the base analog applied. By using reconstruction experiments, the frequency of these mutations induced by n2Pur was calculated.

  • Sequence analysis of enzymes with asparaginase activity.

    abstract::Asparaginases catalyze the hydrolysis of asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia. Enzymes with asparaginase activity play an important role both in the metabolism of all living organisms as well as in pharmacology. The main goal of this paper is to attempt a classification of all known enzymes with asparaginase activi...
