GENETIC ANALYSIS OF MUTATIONS INDIRECTLY SUPPRESSING recB AND recC MUTATIONS

Mutations in sbcB inactivate exonuclease I and suppress the UV-sensitive, mitomycin-sensitive, recombination-deficient phenotypes associated with recB and recC mutations. Mapping experiments have located sbcB about 0.4 minutes from the his operon at 38.0 on the standard map of E. coli. This places sbcB between supD and his. A four-point cross shows that sbcB lies between P2 attH and his. P2 eduction deleting the his operon beginning with P2 attH also deletes sbcB and produces the expected exonuclease I deficiency and suppression of recB-. The occurrence of chemical-mutagen-induced and spontaneous mutations indirectly suppressing recB- and recC- is examined. Three lines of strains produce only sbcA mutations while only sbcB mutations occur in a fourth line. Explanations for this behavior are proposed in light of the ability of the first three lines to express sbcB mutations which they inherit by transduction.
