Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The recA432 mutant allele was isolated (T. Kato and Y. Shinoura, Mol. Gen. Genet. 156:121-131, 1977) by virtue of its defect in cellular mutagenesis (Mut) and its hypersensitivity to damage by UV irradiation (UV), which were phenotypes expected for a recA mutant. However, we found that in a different genetic background (lexA51 sulA211 uvrB), recA432 mutants expressed certain mutant phenotypes but not the Mut and UV phenotypes (D. G. Ennis, N. Ossanna, and D. W. Mount, J. Bacteriol. 171:2533-2541, 1989). We present several lines of evidence that these differences resulted from the sulA genotype of the cell and that the apparent UV and Mut phenotypes of the sulA derivatives resulted from lethal filamentation of induced cells because of persistent derepression of sulA. First, transduction of sulA(Def) mutations into the recA432 strains restored cellular mutagenesis and resistance to UV. Second, recA432 sulA strains underwent filamentous death following SOS-inducing treatments. Third, cleavage of LexA repressor in a recA432 strain continued at a rapid rate long after UV induction, at a time when cleavage of the repressor in the recA parental strain had substantially declined. Fourth, we confirmed that a single mutation (recA432) conferring both the UV and Mut phenotypes mapped to the recA gene. These findings indicate that the RecA432 mutant protein is defective in making the transition back to the deactivated state following SOS induction; thus, the SOS-induced state of recA432 mutants is prolonged and can account for an excess of SulA protein, leading to filamentation. These results are discussed in the context of molecular models for RecA activation for LexA and UmuD cleavage and their roles in the control of mutagenesis and cell division in the SOS response.
