RESUMO
UV mutability of Salmonella typhimurium LT2 was eliminated in the presence of a multicopy plasmid carrying the Escherichia coli lexA+ gene. This result suggests that inducible, SOS-like functions are required for UV mutagenesis in S. typhimurium. S. typhimurium strains carrying either point or deletion mutations in topA had previously been shown to lose their mutability by UV or methyl methanesulfonate (K. Overbye and P. Margolin, J. Bacteriol. 146:170-178, 1981; K. Overbye, S. M. Basu, and P. Margolin, Cold Spring Harbor Symp. Quant. Biol. 47:785-791, 1983). Mitomycin C induction of the phi(mucB'-lacZ') fusion (a DNA damage-inducible locus carried on plasmid pSE205) in S. typhimurium topA was normal, suggesting that RecA is activated in topA mutants. These observations lead us to deduce that S. typhimurium has at least one DNA damage-inducible locus in addition to recA that is required for UV mutability.
