Abstract excerpt
recX is a small open reading frame located downstream of recA that is conserved in many bacteria. In Escherichia coli, the recX gene (also named oraA) is a 501 bp open reading frame that encodes a predicted basic protein. Transcriptional analysis by Northern blots showed that in E. coli the recX gene is SOS-regulated. Primer extension data and transcriptional fusions indicate that recX transcription is down...
