UV light-induced mutability in Salmonella strains containing the umuDC or the mucAB operon: evidence for a umuC function

Multicopy plasmids carrying either the umuDC operon of Escherichia coli or its analog mucAB operon, were introduced into Ames Salmonella strains in order to analyze the influence of UmuDC and MucAB proteins on repair and mutability after UV irradiation. It was found that in uvr+ bacteria, plasmid pICV80: mucAB increased the frequency of UV-induced His+ revertants whereas pSE117:umuDC caused a smaller increase in UV mutagenesis. In ΔuvrB bacteria, the protective role of pSE117 against UV killing was weak, and there was a great reduction in the mutant yield. In contrast, in these cells, pICV80 led to a large increase in both cell survival and mutation frequency. These results suggest that in Salmonella, as in E. coli, MucAB proteins mediate UV mutagenesis more efficiently than UmuDC proteins do. Plasmid pICV84:umuD+ C− significantly increased UV mutagenesis of TA2659: ΔuvrB cells whereas in them, pICV77:mucA+ B− had no effect on mutability indicating the presence in Salmonella TA2659 of a gene functionally homologous to umuC.
