Abstract excerpt
RecA amino acid residue 204 is involved in the coprotease domain of the protein responsible for the induction of mutagenic repair. Two mutations were created at this site leading to the addition of either a methyl or an isopropyl group on the original glycine. Analyses of both the in vivo and the in vitro properties of these mutated proteins demonstrated that this residue 204 is involved in many RecA activities,...
