The molecular mechanisms for the recF-dependent and recB-dependent pathways of postreplication repair were studied by sedimentation analysis of DNA from UV-irradiated Escherichia coli cells. When the ability to repair DNA daughter strand gaps was compared, uvrB recF cells showed a gross deficiency, whereas uvrB recB cells showed only a small deficiency. Nevertheless, the uvrB recF cells were able to perform some limited repair of daughter strand gaps compared with a "repairless" uvrB recA strain. The introduction of a recB mutation into the uvrB recF strain greatly increased its UV radiation sensitivity, yet decreased only slightly its ability to repair daughter strand gaps. Kinetic studies of DNA repair with alkaline and neutral sucrose gradients indicated that the accumulation of unrepaired daughter strand gaps led to the formation of low-molecular-weight DNA duplexes (i.e., DNA double-strand breaks were formed). The uvrB recF cells were able to regenerate high-molecular-weight DNA from these low-molecular-weight DNA duplexes, whereas the uvrB recF recB and uvrB recA cells were not. A model for the recB-dependent pathway of postreplication repair is presented.
