Evidence that an additional mutation is required to tolerate insertional inactivation of the Streptomyces lividans recA gene.

Abstract excerpt

In contrast to recA of other bacteria, the recA gene of Streptomyces lividans has been described as indispensable for viability (G. Muth, D. Frese, A. Kleber, and W. Wohlleben, Mol. Gen. Genet. 255:420-428, 1997.). Therefore, a closer analysis of this gene was performed to detect possible unique features distinguishing the Streptomyces RecA protein from the well-characterized Escherichia coli RecA protein. The S....
