Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, RecA-mediated cleavage of LexA repressor is a key regulatory event required for expression of SOS genes involved in the repair of DNA damage. RecA also mediates the cleavage of UmuD protein to UmuD, a form active in SOS mutagenesis. To determine whether LexA and UmuD have common binding determinants on RecA, we have compared the ability of several recA mutants to function in the cleavage of...
