Abstract
UV light causes inactivation of phage (phi80) repressor molecules in a plasmolyzed, permeable cell preparation of Escherichia coli. Induction without UV irradiation occurs when the permeable cells are incubated in the presence of four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates and ATP. The induction triggered by dNTP's requires a functional recBC gene product and is associated with degradation of the DNA replication fork. The role of recBC DNase in the induction of prophage and SOS functions in general is discussed.
