Sensing DNA damage and initiation of genetic responses to repair DNA damage are critical to cell survival. InEscherichia coli, RecA polymerizes on ssDNA produced by DNA damage creating a RecA–DNA filament that interacts with the LexA repressor inducing the SOS response. RecA filament stability is negatively modulated by RecX and UvrD.recA730(E38K) andrecA4142(F217Y) constitutively express the SOS response.recA4162(I298V) andrecA4164(L126V) are intragenic suppressors of the constitutive SOS phenotype ofrecA730. Herein, it is shown that these suppressors are not allele specific and can suppress SOSCexpression ofrecA730andrecA4142 in cisandin trans.recA4162andrecA4164single mutants (and therecA730andrecA4142derivatives) are Rec+, UVRand are able to induce the SOS response after UV treatment like wild‐type. UvrD and RecX are required for the suppression in two (recA730,4164andrecA4142,4162) of the four double mutants tested. To explain the data, one model suggests thatrecACalleles promote SOSCexpression by mimicking RecA filament structures that induce SOS and the suppressor alleles mimic RecA filament at end of SOS. UvrD and RecX are attracted to these latter structures to help dismantle or destabilize the RecA filament.
