Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, a replication fork blocking event at a DNA replication terminus (Ter) enhances homologous recombination at the nearby sister chromosomal region, converting the region into a recombination hotspot, Hot, site. Using a RNaseH negative (rnhA-) mutant, we identified eight kinds of Hot DNAs (HotA-H). Among these, enhanced recombination of three kinds of Hot DNAs (HotA-C) was dependent on fork...
