Targeting of the UmuD, UmuD', and MucA' mutagenesis proteins to DNA by RecA protein.
In addition to its critical role in genetic recombination, the Escherichia coli RecA protein plays a pivotal role in SOS-induced mutagenesis. This role can be separated genetically into three steps: (i) depression of the SOS regulon by mediating the posttranslational cleavage of the LexA repressor, (ii) activation of UmuD'-like proteins by mediating cleavage of the UmuD-like proteins, and (iii)...
متن کاملThe Role of chk2 in Response to DNA Damage in Cancer Cells
Accumulation of gene changes and chromosomal instability in response to cellular DNA damage lead to cancer. DNA damage induces cell cycle checkpoints pathways. Checkpoints regulate DNA replication and cell cycle progression, chromatin restructuring, and apoptosis. Checkpoint kinase 2 (chk2) is activated in response to DNA lesions. ATM phosphorylate chk2. The activated Chk2 kinase can phosphoryl...
متن کاملThe UmuD' protein filament and its potential role in damage induced mutagenesis.
BACKGROUND Damage induced 'SOS mutagenesis' may occur transiently as part of the global SOS response to DNA damage in bacteria. A key participant in this process is the UmuD protein, which is produced in an inactive from but converted to the active form, UmuD', by a RecA-mediated self-cleavage reaction. UmuD', together with UmuC and activated RecA (RecA*), enables the DNA polymerase III holoenz...
متن کاملThe Mre11 Protein Is Necessary for DNA Damage Response
When James Watson and Francis Crick reported the structure of DNA in 1953, the mechanism of inheritance was instantly apparent. The complementary pairing of the DNA bases in the double helix, the pair famously wrote, “immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material.’’ The structure helped explain one of the central problems of modern biology: how does genetic material...
متن کاملProtein post-translational modifications and the DNA damage response
Gene expression can be regulated in many ways at the level of transcription or translation. The quickest way is to modify the gene product or protein. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins can alter their activity, interaction partners, complex affiliation, subcellular localization, or stability in response to changes in the cellular environment. There is a well-established and di...
