Abstract excerpt
Transcription-repair coupling factor (TRCF; the product of the mfd gene) is a widely conserved bacterial protein that couples DNA repair with transcription. TRCF recognizes RNA polymerase stalled at a noncoding lesion in the DNA template strand, uses the energy from ATP hydrolysis to disrupt the transcription complex, and stimulates DNA repair by recruiting UvrA, a component of the nucleotide excision repair...
