An exonuclease III-deficient strain of Escherichia coli K-12, BW2001 (xthA11), was unable to perform rapid repair of X-ray-induced deoxyribonucleic acid single-strand breaks and appeared to have a defect in the priming of the 3'-termini necessary for initiation of repair synthesis at the breaks. This defect cannot be explained solely by the lack of exonuclease III activity, because other xth mutants tested, including a deletion mutant, repaired radiation-induced strand breaks at close to the normal rate.
大肠杆菌K-12的核酸外切酶III缺陷菌株BW2001(xthA11)无法快速修复X射线诱导的脱氧核糖核酸单链断裂,并且在断裂处启动修复合成所需的3'末端引发过程中似乎存在缺陷。这种缺陷不能仅用核酸外切酶III活性的缺乏来解释,因为测试的其他xth突变体,包括一个缺失突变体,以接近正常的速率修复辐射诱导的链断裂。
