UV mutation frequency responses for two types of Escherichia coli prototrophic mutant were measured. Only the response associated with a mutation targeted by a thymine-cytosine pyrimidine dimer was reduced in the dark in cells with amplified DNA photolyase. This specific reduction is attributed to the interruption of mutational DNA synthesis by a photolyase complex at the targeting dimer.
对两种类型的大肠杆菌原养型突变体的紫外线突变频率反应进行了测量。在具有扩增的DNA光解酶的细胞中,只有与胸腺嘧啶 - 胞嘧啶嘧啶二聚体靶向的突变相关的反应在黑暗中降低。这种特异性降低归因于光解酶复合物在靶向二聚体处对突变性DNA合成的中断。
