By prophage transformation and subcloning, we have obtained Bacillus subtilis DNA fragments that could complement the hypersensitivity of ada (adaptive response deficient) mutants to N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). The nucleotide sequence contained two open reading frames that were assigned to the genes adaA and adaB, encoding methylphosphotriester-DNA methyltransferase and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, respectively. These two genes overlap by 11 bp and comprise a small op ...[more]
