摘要: The SOS response in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli includes the upregulation of several dozen genes that are negatively regulated by LexA repressor. Using DNA microarrays containing amplified fragments from 95.5% all open reading frames identified on E. chromosome, we have examined changes gene expression following UV exposure both wild-type cells and lexA1 mutants, which unable to induce under control. We report here time courses surrounding 26 documented lexA-regulated regions chromosome. observed 17 additional sites responded a lexA-dependent manner large number were upregulated lexA-independent although this was generally not more than twofold. In addition, transcripts either downregulated or degraded irradiation. These newly UV-responsive discussed with respect their possible roles cellular recovery
