Inhibition of the recBCD-dependent activation of Chi recombinational hot spots in SOS-induced cells of Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Feb 1992

Rinken R, Wackernagel W

Abstract excerpt

Nucleotide sequences called Chi (5'-GCTGGTGG-3') enhance homologous recombination near their location by the RecBCD enzyme in Escherichia coli (Chi activation). A partial inhibition of Chi activation measured in lambda red gam mutant crosses was observed after treatment of wild-type cells with DNA-damaging agents including UV, mitomycin, and nalidixic acid. Inhibition of Chi activation was not accompanied by an...
