Ultraviolet-induced decrease in integration of Haemophilus influenzae transforming deoxyribonucleic acid in sensitive and resistant cells

A Muhammed et al. J Bacteriol. 1970 Feb.

Abstract

The decrease in integration of transforming deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) caused by ultraviolet irradiation of the DNA was found to be independent of the presence or absence of excision repair in the recipient cell. Much of the ultraviolet-induced inhibition of integration resulted from the presence in the transforming DNA of pyrimidine dimers, as judged by the photoreactivability of the inhibition with yeast photoreactivating enzyme. The inhibition of integration made only a small contribution to the inactivation of transforming ability of the DNA by ultraviolet radiation.
