Abstract excerpt
The HU protein of Escherichia coli has been implicated in various site-specific recombination reactions. Moreover, recent data suggest that HU may also participate in homologous recombination. In particular, it has been shown that P1 transduction is inhibited in the absence of HU [Kano and Imamoto, Gene 89 (1990) 133-137]. In contrast, we found that transductional recombination and conjugational recombination...
