Crystal structure of C-terminal domain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LexA G91D mutantCrystal structure of C-terminal domain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LexA G91D mutant
Structural highlights
FunctionLEXA_PSEAE Represses a number of genes involved in the response to DNA damage (SOS response), including recA and lexA. In the presence of single-stranded DNA, RecA interacts with LexA causing an autocatalytic cleavage which disrupts the DNA-binding part of LexA, leading to derepression of the SOS regulon and eventually DNA repair. |
