Abstract excerpt
The UmuD'C mutagenesis complex accumulates slowly and parsimoniously after a 12 Jm(-2) UV flash to attain after 45 min a low cell concentration between 15 and 60 complexes. Meanwhile, RecA monomers go up to 72,000 monomers. By contrast, when the UmuD'C complex is constitutively produced at a high concentration, it inhibits recombinational repair and then markedly reduces bacterial survival from DNA damage. We...
