Abstract excerpt
We have shown that excision and transposition of Tn5 in Escherichia coli are greatly increased by recA(Prtc) genes, which encode constitutively activated RecA proteins (C.-T. Kuan, S.-K. Liu, and I. Tessman, Genetics 128:45-57, 1991). Contrary results, showing a significant decrease in Tn5 transposition under SOS conditions, were subsequently reported (M. D. Weinreich, J. C. Makris, and W. S. Reznikoff, J....
