gating radiation toxicity.Ultraviolet (UV) induces pyrimidine dimers (PDs) in DNA and ****tion-dependent fragmentation in chromosomes. The rnhAB mutants in Escherichia coli, accumulating R-loops and single DNA-rNs, are generally resistant to DNA damage, but are surprisingly UV-sensitive, even though they remove PDs normally, suggesting irreparable chromosome lesions. We show here that the RNase H defect does not cause additional chromosome fragmentation after UV, but inhibits DNA synthesis after ****tion restart. Genetic analysis
