Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli SOS functions constitute a multifaceted response to DNA damage. We undertook to study the role of yafP, a SOS gene with unknown function. yafP is part of an operon also containing the dinB gene coding for DNA Polymerase IV (PolIV). Our phylogenetic analysis showed that the gene content of this operon is variable but that the dinB and the yafP genes are conserved in the majority of E. coli natural...
