title: Isolation and characterization of the Haemophilus influenzae uvrA gene.
abstract: The uvrA gene Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) was cloned and sequenced. Analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence revealed 81% identity and 90% similarity with the Escherichia coli UvrA protein. Consistent with a role of Hi uvrA in DNA repair, a Hi uvrA mutant exhibited increased sensitivity of UV irradiation. Furthermore, Hi uvrA was able to complement a mutation in the E. coli uvrA locus.
