Mfd protects against oxidative stress in Bacillus subtilis independently of its canonical function in DNA repair

Mfd protects against oxidative stress in Bacillus subtilis independently of its canonical function in DNA repair

Abstract Background Previous reports showed that mutagenesis in nutrient-limiting conditions is dependent on Mfd in Bacillus subtilis. Mfd initiates one type of transcription-coupled repair (TCR); this type of repair is known to target bulky lesions, like those associated with UV exposure. Interesti...
