| Abstract | The RecA protein has a second, direct role in the mutagenesis of Escherichia coli and bacteriophage lambda in addition to its first, indirect role of inducing the SOS system by enhancing the proteolytic cleavage of the LexA repressor protein. The need for RecA protease and recombinase functions in the direct role was examined in cells containing split-phenotype RecA mutations, in the absence of LexA protein. Spontaneous mutation of E. coli (his----his+) required both the protease and recombinase activities. The mutation frequency increased with increasing RecA protease strength. In contrast, UV-induced mutation of E. coli required only the RecA protease activity. Weigle repair and mutation of UV-irradiated phage S13 required only RecA protease activity, and even weak activity was highly effective; RecA recombinase activity was not required. RecA+ protein inhibited RecA (Prtc [protease constitutive] Rec+) protein in effecting spontaneous mutation of E. coli. We discuss the nature of the direct role of the RecA protein in spontaneous mutation and in repair and mutagenesis of UV-damaged DNA and also the implications of our results for the theory that SOS-mutable cryptic lesions might be responsible for the enhanced spontaneous mutation in Prtc Rec+ strains. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
