Attempts to transduce the ultraviolet-sensitive mutator lesion mutU4 into strains deficient in deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase I (polA) were unsuccessful. Mutator recombinants were found when the polA recipient had first been reverted to Pol(+) by selection for resistance to methyl methanesulfonate. The inviability of the mutU4 polA double mutant was demonstrated by a reduction in the absolute number of transductants when the recipient was polA as compared with Pol(+), and selection was made for markers very close to mutU4. Double mutants containing mutU4 and polA4, which determines a cold-sensitive polymerase, were unable to grow at 24 C, the nonpermissive temperature.
将对紫外线敏感的诱变损伤mutU4导入缺乏脱氧核糖核酸聚合酶I(polA)的菌株的尝试未成功。当通过选择对甲磺酸甲酯的抗性使polA受体首先回复为Pol(+)时,发现了诱变重组体。当受体为polA时,与Pol(+)相比,转导子的绝对数量减少,这证明了mutU4 polA双突变体的不可存活性,并对非常接近mutU4的标记进行了选择。含有mutU4和polA4(决定一种冷敏感聚合酶)的双突变体在非允许温度24℃下无法生长。
