Abstract excerpt
In addition to being an essential component of trans-lesion synthesis, the UmuD'C complex is an antagonist of RecA-mediated homologous recombination. When constitutively expressed at an elevated concentration, the UmuD'C complex sensitizes recA+ bacteria to DNA damage, whereas it has no effect on bacteria expressing a RecA [UmuR] protein that overcomes recombination inhibition. Using as a genetic screen enhanced...
