    Phenotypes of a mutant

  • in an ''mfd'' knock-out, the cell's ability to accumulate adaptive mutations in stationary phase is depressed [http://www.pubmed.com/16950921 PubMed]
  • strongly reduced stationary phase mutagenesis [Pubmed|27399782]
  • increased UV-induced mutagenesis via [protein|C87D33852F263A553CA747608E6200E4AD8344B5|PolY1]/ [protein|F0BC150F59730E64BA9AB3F979544EF6B5CC4E9E|PolY2]-mediated translesion synthesis [Pubmed|24118570]
  • the mutation suppresses the mucoid phenotype of ''[gene|86C729C7D5ABEE519ADC4A893940600BBB655EF1|motA]'' or ''[gene|FE56753D061344B0F10A6523F49C5C7356AA40B6|motB]'' mutants [Pubmed|24296669]
  • sensitive to blue light-induced DNA damage [pubmed|30054368]
  • sensitive to oxidative stress [pubmed|30691388]
  • suppression of lethality of [gene|C73E52D214E24F21696973B19B0A44CE785D6FBA|pcrA] inactivation [pubmed|32793628]

    • The protein

    Catalyzed reaction/ biological activity

  • promotes strand-specific DNA repair by displacing [SW|RNA polymerase] stalled at a nucleotide lesion and directing the (A)BC excinuclease to RNA damage site
  • is required for roadblock transcription repression by transcription factors with binding sites downstream of the promoter (as for [protein|E39AFEB7B7F28969A35C4B51CC6E7819F71C79D9|CcpA] [Pubmed|9535092] and [protein|90ACE0DECA58D3C1A55E135120F7A0C1C920571C|CodY] [Pubmed|21699902])
  • required for the processing of genetic damage during [SW|sporulation] [Pubmed|24118570]
  • required for repair of DNA lesions during growth [pubmed|32041798]
  • promotes error-prone DNA repair during stress to promote genetic diversity [pubmed|32041798]
