Abstract excerpt
MSMEG_2295 is a TetR family protein encoded by the first gene of a Mycobacterium smegmatis (Msm) operon that expresses the gene for DinB2 (MSMEG_2294), a translesion DNA repair enzyme. We have carried out investigations to understand its function by performing DNA binding studies and gene knockout experiments. We found that the protein binds to a conserved inverted repeat sequence located upstream of the dinB2...
