Steric gate variants of UmuC confer UV hypersensitivity on Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 2009

Abstract excerpt

Y family DNA polymerases are specialized for replication of damaged DNA and represent a major contribution to cellular resistance to DNA lesions. Although the Y family polymerase active sites have fewer contacts with their DNA substrates than replicative DNA polymerases, Y family polymerases appear to exhibit specificity for certain lesions. Thus, mutation of the steric gate residue of Escherichia coli DinB...
