Cold sensitivity induced by overproduction of UmuDC in Escherichia coli
L Marsh et al. J Bacteriol. 1985 Apr.
Abstract
The UmuD and UmuC proteins of Escherichia coli are essential for mutagenesis by UV and most chemicals. Their mode of action is presently unknown. Strains which lack the LexA repressor [lexA(Def)] and contain a pBR322-derived plasmid carrying the umuDC operon overexpress UmuD and UmuC and become cold sensitive (growth at 42 degrees C but not at 30 degrees C). Deletion mapping showed that the umuDC locus on the plasmid is responsible for conferring cold sensitivity. The conditional lethality appeared due to a rapid and reversible inhibition of DNA synthesis at the nonpermissive temperature. Cold sensitivity was enhanced by the increase of NaCl in the medium to 1% and eliminated by 4% ethanol in the medium. Cold sensitivity was partially suppressed by the lon-100 mutation and completely suppressed by the htpR165 mutation.
