|SOS response is believe to be a universal bacteria phenomenon first studied in E.coli -LexA, recA

|In Bacillus subtillis (gram positive) dinR protein is homologous to lexA (Repressor of din-damage inducible genes).din genes include uvrA, uvrB, dinB, dinC dinR and recA. DNA damage inhibits cell division.

|dinR KO mutant over expressed the divergent (opposite direction) transcript for YneA, YneB and YnzC. These genes form the SOS regulon  (recA independent SOS response)

|Expression of YneA from ITPG controlled promoter in wt leads to elongation.

|Disruption of YneA in SOS response leads to reduced elongation. Altering YneB and YnzC expression does not affect cell morphology.

|FtsZ is important for bacterial cell division forming a ring structure at the division site by polymerising

-
assembling other proteins necessary for division at the site.

-
|-
+
-
|FtsZ localises to the cell division cycle unless dinR is disrupted or YneA is being induced.
+
-
|-
+
-
|YneA suppresses FtsZ ring formation- no proven direct interaction by two-hybrid.

|Filamentous cells less colony formation.

-
|YneA expression via the inactivation of dinR by Rec A is important.
