Abstract excerpt
Neisseria gonorrhoeae lacks several common DNA repair pathways found in other organisms. As recent evidence had indicated that gonococci use recombinational repair to repair UV-induced DNA lesions, this study examined whether the gonococcal RecJ homologue contributes in this repair capacity. The recJ gene from strain MS11 was cloned and sequenced and was found to show a considerable degree of identity to its...
