Abstract excerpt
Illegitimate recombination that usually takes place at a low frequency is greatly enhanced by treatment with DNA-damaging agents. It is thought that DNA double-strand breaks induced by this DNA damage are important for initiation of illegitimate recombination. Here we show that illegitimate recombination is enhanced by overexpression of the DnaB protein in Escherichia coli. The recombination enhanced by DnaB...
