Infection of Escherichia coli in the presence of chloramphenicol with mutant filamentous phage that are defective in the initiation of minus-strand DNA synthesis induces the SOS response as monitored by cellular LexA levels. This observation demonstrates that single-stranded DNA serves as a primary signal for SOS induction in vivo.
在氯霉素存在的情况下,用负链DNA合成起始有缺陷的突变丝状噬菌体感染大肠杆菌,会诱导SOS反应,这可通过细胞LexA水平来监测。这一观察结果表明,单链DNA在体内是SOS诱导的主要信号。
