Abstract
The effect of conjugative plasmids Collb-P9 (incI1) and pKM101 (incN), containing the active ard gene, on the efficiency of EcoK restriction of nonmodified phage lambda.0 in UV-irradiated Escherichia coli cells was studied. ard-Dependent antirestriction enzyme activity was shown to decrease in UV-irradiated cells, The efficiency of action of the ar d plasmid gene on lambda.0 was also shown not to depend on cell helica ses RecBCD and UvrD, in contrast to the UV-induced alleviation of EcoK restriction (SOS alleviation).
