Abstract excerpt
The heterotrimeric RecBCD enzyme of Escherichia coli is required for the major pathway of double-strand DNA break repair and genetic exchange. Assembled as a heterotrimer, the enzyme has potent nuclease and helicase activity. Analysis of recC nonsense and deletion mutations revealed that the C terminus of RecC is required for assembly of the RecD subunit into RecBCD holoenzyme but not for recombination...
