Abstract excerpt

pKM101 is a naturally occurring plasmid that carries mucAB, an analog of the umuDC operon, the gene products of which are required for the SOS-dependent processing of damaged DNA necessary for most mutagenesis. Genetic studies have indicated that mucAB expression is controlled by the SOS regulato...
