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 | 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 | 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 |
