Abstract excerpt
The bacterial RecA protein participates in a remarkably diverse set of functions, all of which are involved in the maintenance of genomic integrity. RecA is a central component in both the catalysis of recombinational DNA repair and the regulation of the cellular SOS response. Despite the mechanistic differences of its functions, all require formation of an active RecA/ATP/DNA complex. RecA is a classic...
