摘要:
Due to the genotoxically challenging environments in which they live in, Mycobacteria have a complex DNA damage repair system that is governed by two major DNA damage responses, namely, the LexA/ RecA-dependent response and the newly characterized PafBC-mediated response (Muller et al., 2018). The LexA/RecA-dependent response is a well-known bistable response found in different types of bacteria, and the Mycobacteria-specific PafBC-mediated response interacts with and modifies the LexA/RecA dependent response (Muller et al., 2018). The interaction between the LexA/RecA-dependent response and the PafBC-mediated response has not been characterized mathematically. Our analysis shows that the addition of the PafBC-mediated response sensitizes the overall DNA damage response, effectively lowering the DNA damage rate threshold for activation.
