The repair of X-ray-induced strand breaks was studied in permeabilized Escherichia coli recBC cells deficient for the adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-dependent exonuclease V and in recBC sbcA cells that possess the ATP-independent exonuclease VIII. It is shown that repair induced by additon of ATP does not take place in recBC and recBC sbcB cells and is limited in recBC sbcA cells. ATP-dependent repair is nevertheless observable if together with ATP a mixture of deoxynucleotide monophosphates is supplied to the cells. These data fit with the assumption that in wild-type cells ATP-dependent repair involves exonuclease V-induced deoxyribonucleic acid degradation and rephosphorylation of the degradation products which are reused for deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase I-dependent break closure. Repair in the presence of deoxynucleotide triphosphates rejoins a similar fraction of breaks in all strains tested irrespective of the amount of postirradiation degradation resulting from exonuclease V and exonuclease VIII activities. Thus, exonuclease V is dispensable for deoxynucleotide triphosphate-dependent repair, i.e., does not "clean" the ends of breaks produced by X-irradiation. ATP- and deoxynucleotide triphosphate-dependent repair are not additive and seem to repair the same population of deoxyribonucleic acid molecules damaged by X-irradiation.
