Selective alleviation of Mitomycin C sensitivity in lexA3 strains of Escherichia coli demands allele specificity of rif-nal mutations: a pivotal role for rpoB87-gyrA87 mutations. [PDF]
Very recently, we have reported about an unconventional mode of elicitation of Mitomycin C (MMC) specific resistance in lexA3 (SOS repair deficient) mutants due to a combination of Rif-Nal mutations (rpoB87-gyrA87).

Reaction of LexA repressor with diisopropyl fluorophosphate. A test of the serine protease model.
The LexA repressor of Escherichia coli modulates the expression of the SOS regulon. In the presence of DNA damaging agents in vivo, the 202-amino acid LexA repressor is inactivated by specific RecA-mediated cleavage of the Ala-84/Gly-85 peptide bond. In vitro. LexA cleavage requires activated RecA at neutral pH, and proceeds spontaneously at high pH in

Design and comparative characterization of RecA variants
RecA plays a central role in DNA repair and is a main actor involved in recombination and activation of the SOS response. It is also used in the context of biotechnological applications in recombinase polymerase isothermal amplification (RPA).

The SOS response of Listeria monocytogenes is involved in stress resistance and mutagenesis [PDF]
The SOS response is a conserved pathway that is activated under certain stress conditions and is regulated by the repressor LexA and the activator RecA.

A signature motif mediating selective interactions of BCL11A with the NR2E/F subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors [PDF]
Despite their physiological importance, selective interactions between nuclear receptors (NRs) and their cofactors are poorly understood. Here, we describe a novel signature motif (F/YSXXLXXL/Y) in the developmental regulator BCL11A that facilitates its ...

RecA and RadA Proteins of Brucella abortus Do Not Perform Overlapping Protective DNA Repair Functions following Oxidative Burst [PDF]
Very little is known about the role of DNA repair networks in Brucella abortus and its role in pathogenesis. We investigated the roles of RecA protein, DNA repair, and SOS regulation in B. abortus.

Nucleotide sequence binding specificity of the LexA repressor of Escherichia coli K-12 [PDF]
The specificity of LexA protein binding was investigated by quantifying the repressibility of several mutant recA and lexA operator-promoter regions fused to the Escherichia coli galactokinase (galK) gene. The results of this analysis indicate that two sets of four nucleotides, one set at each end of the operator (terminal-nucleotide contacts), are ...

ABSTRACT Tangeretin has been known as a polymethoxylated flavone conferring both phytoprotection and nutraceutical value, but cryoprotective roles and molecular regulation of tangeretin under abiotic stresses remain largely unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that cold treatment led to greater accumulation of tangeretin and upregulation of ...

The ZmFKF1b‐ZmDi19‐5 Regulatory Module Coordinates Drought Tolerance and Flowering Time in Maize
ABSTRACT Drought is a major environmental stress that inhibits plant growth and reduces crop yields. The Di19 gene family is known to play a pivotal role in mediating plant responses to drought. However, the mechanisms by which Di19 proteins integrate drought response with developmental processes, particularly flowering time, remain largely unknown in ...
