The recX gene potentiates homologous recombination in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Jun 2001

Stohl E A, Seifert H S

Abstract excerpt

In the pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gc), the RecA protein is necessary for DNA repair, DNA transformation and pilus antigenic variation. Many bacteria contain a gene, recX, which has been suggested to downregulate recA through an unknown mechanism. To investigate the possible role of recX in G...
