Abstract excerpt
The ability to sense DNA damage and activate DNA damage response pathways is critical for repairing DNA damage in all domains of life. The most well studied pathway for DNA damage repair (DDR) in bacteria includes the "save our souls" (SOS) pathway, although many components of this pathway are missing in the Acinetobacter clade. One aspect of DDR pathways includes the inhibition of cell division to prevent the...
