UV mutagenesis to His+ in certain recA441 lexA51 bacteria was not photoreversible, indicating that pyrimidine dimers are not target lesions. Photoreversibility was observed in recA+ lexA51 bacteria, showing that pyrimidine dimers are needed to activate the recA+ protein (unlike the recA441 protein) to perform a function in UV mutagenesis distinct from cleavage of the lexA repressor.
在某些recA441 lexA51细菌中,紫外线诱变产生His+的过程不可光逆转,这表明嘧啶二聚体不是目标损伤。在recA+ lexA51细菌中观察到了光逆转现象,这表明嘧啶二聚体是激活recA+蛋白(与recA441蛋白不同)以在紫外线诱变中发挥不同于裂解lexA阻遏物的功能所必需的。
