Damage leads to the proteolytic destruction of a transcriptional repressor (the LexA repressor) that controls expression of genes involved in the SOS response, including those for DinB, UmuC, and UmuD, the inactive precursor for UmuD0.

The ‘Wallace rule’ (Lay Thein & Wallace 1986) is used to determine the appropriate stringency wash temperature: 

Tm = 4 × (number of GC base pairs) + 2 × (number of AT base pairs

Acrosomal enzymes (acrosin and MMP2) as well as the enzymes that help establish capacitation, are inhibited by zinc, the accumulation of zinc on the zona pellucida and in the surrounding cumulus form a “zinc shield” that prevents further sperm entry
