Escherichia coli DNA polymerase (pol) V is involved in the mutagenic process of limited DNA synthesis across a DNA lesion, but the molecular composition of mutagenically active pol V and the importance of the RecA nucleoprotein filament RecA* have remained unclear. The biochemical role of RecA* is now defined.
