Abstract excerpt
The PriA protein of Escherichia coli plays a key role in the rescue of replication forks stalled on the template DNA. One attractive model of rescue relies on homologous recombination to establish a new fork via PriA-mediated loading of the DnaB replicative helicase at D loop intermediates. We provide genetic and biochemical evidence that PriA helicase activity can also rescue a stalled fork by an alternative...
