Sassanfar M, Roberts J W
Abstract excerpt
The SOS genes of Escherichia coli, which include many DNA repair genes, are induced by DNA damage. Although the central biochemical event in induction, activation of RecA protein through binding of single-stranded DNA and ATP to promote cleavage of the LexA repressor, is known, the cellular event that provides this activation following DNA damage has not been well understood. We provide evidence here that the...
