Escherichia coli Br Hcr+ cells transformed with the recombinant multicopy plasmid pBR322 carrying recA gene contain increased amounts of RecA protein. When these cells were UV-irradiated, excision of pyrimidine dimers was reduced by about 50%. It is suggested that the damaged DNA strands may be coated with RecA protein which makes them insensitive to the action of the uvrABC excision nuclease.
用携带recA基因的重组多拷贝质粒pBR322转化的大肠杆菌Br Hcr⁺细胞含有增加量的RecA蛋白。当这些细胞受到紫外线照射时,嘧啶二聚体的切除减少了约50%。有人提出,受损的DNA链可能被RecA蛋白覆盖,这使得它们对uvrABC切除核酸酶的作用不敏感。
