DNA damage specificity of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase DinB

Exogenous and endogenous DNA damaging agents such as UV light cause lesions in DNA, which halt the progress of DNA replication. Microbes such as E. coli have a response mechanism known as the SOS response which is initiated upon DNA damage. The SOS response ultimately results in the expression of th...
