lexA51Strain Comments: - The mutations include a TS requirement for isoleucine and valine.
- leuB6(Am)-- Suppressed by serU suppressor (supH)
- glnX44(AS)-- Mutation is a C to T transition at nucleotide 34 (3rd position of the anticodon)
- galK2(Oc)-- is a GAA(glu) to TAA(ochre) mutation, residue 134. Oller et al.1993. Apparently non-suppressible, since all revertants found were at the ochre site.
- sulA211-- was formerly called sfiA11.
- sulA211-- This allele is the result of a T>C change in the -10 promoter (TACTGT -> TACTGC), which also overlaps with the LexA-binding site (TACTGTACATCCATACAGTA -> TACTGCACATCCATACAGTA)
- recA1-- : Missense mutation, altered isoelectric point. Sequenced: G to A for Nuc. 720 (Gly 160 Asp).
- lexA3(Ind-)-- : Non-cleavable LexA repressor protein; defective in SOS induction, UV sensitive
- lexA3(Ind-)-- This mutation results in a G85D amino acid substitution at the lexA cleavage site.
- lexA51-- : defective LexA resulting in constitutive expression of LexA-repressed genes. Formerly called spr-51
- lexA51-- This is a frameshift mutation from an single A deletion between bases 475 and 480
- Δ(gpt-proA)62 was formerly called proA2
- galK2(Oc) was formerly called gal2
- glnX44(AS) was formerly called su+II
- glnX44(AS) was formerly called supE44
- glnX44(AS) was formerly called glnV44
- thiE1 was formerly called thi-1
- Am = amber(UAG) mutation
- AS = amber(UAG) suppressor
- Ind- = non-inducible
- Oc = ochre(UAA) mutation
- strR = streptomycin resist.
