Abstract excerpt
DNA synthesis in Escherichia coli is inhibited transiently after UV irradiation. Induced replisome reactivation or "replication restart" occurs shortly thereafter, allowing cells to complete replication of damaged genomes. At the present time, the molecular mechanism underlying replication restart is not understood. DNA polymerase II (pol II), encoded by the dinA (polB) gene, is induced as part of the global SOS...
