Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination contributes to the extraordinary genetic diversity of Helicobacter pylori and may be critical for surface antigen expression and adaptation to environmental challenges within the stomach. We generated isogenic, nonpolar H. pylori ruvC mutants to investigate the function of RuvC, a Holliday junction endonuclease that resolves recombinant joints into nicked duplex products. Inactivation of...
