Posttranslational Modification

Posttranslational Modification Comment Organism
proteolytic modification full-length UmuD is expressed as a homodimer of 139-amino-acid subunits, which eventually cleaves its N-terminal 24 amino acids to form UmuD'. The cleavage product UmuD' and UmuC form the Y-family polymerase DNA Pol V (UmuD'2C) capable of performing translesion synthesis Escherichia coli

Subunits

Subunits Comment Organism
dimer UmuD and the cleavage product UmuD' exist as homodimers. Their subunits can readily exchange to form UmuDD' heterodimers preferentially. Heterodimer formation is an essential step in the degradation pathway of UmuD' Escherichia coli

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function the umuD gene products are upregulated after DNA damage and play roles in both nonmutagenic and mutagenic aspects of the SOS response Escherichia coli
