title: uvrB-dependent, recF-independent post-replication (or replication) repair in Escherichia coli.
abstract: In UV-damaged cells, a large fraction of pyrimidine dimers may remain unexcised and may be tolerated by a uvrB recA lexA-dependent non-excisional mode of repair (M. Sedliaková, J. Brozmanová, F. Maŝek and K. Kleibl, Biophys. J., 36 (1981) 429-441). We show here that a similar repair pathway operates in the Escherichia coli recF 143 single mutant but not in the recF uvrB double mutant. This indicates that the putative repair pathway is recF independent.
