Transcriptional coupling and repair of 8-OxoG activate a RecA-dependent checkpoint that controls the onset of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis
Abstract During sporulation Bacillus subtilis Mfd couples transcription to nucleotide excision repair (NER) to eliminate DNA distorting lesions. Here, we report a significant decline in sporulation following Mfd disruption, which was manifested in the absence of external DNA-damage suggesting that s...
