The bacterial response to DNA damage is known as the SOS response. There are two main proteins involved - one, LexA, to keep the response switched off while the cell is healthy and the other, RecA, to turn it on when DNA damage occurs.

CONT

La réponse SOS est un mécanisme de régulation qui permet l'adaptation et l'évolution de la bactérie quand les conditions environnementales l'exigent. C'est un système conservé, induit à la suite de stress causant des dommages à l'ADN, et qui est essentiel à la réparation de l'ADN et à la reprise de la réplication. La réponse SOS est régulée par deux acteurs principaux : le répresseur LexA et l'activateur RecA.
