Mutation Frequency Decline (mfd) is the gene which encodes the protein Mfd (also known as Transcription Repair Coupling Factor, TRCF). Mfd functions in transcription-coupled repair to remove a stalled RNA polymerase that has encountered DNA damage and is unable to continue translocating.
The protein is named after the fact that it reduces the chances of suppressor mutations in UV-irradiated cells (or rather, knockout cells show higher rates of such mutations). It does not reduce the chance of every kind of mutation.[1] In fact, it seems to increase the chances of mutation in general, helping to evolve new traits such as antimicrobial resistance.[2]
