Abstract excerpt
To study roles of Rep helicase in short-homology-dependent illegitimate recombination, we examined the effect of a rep mutation on illegitimate recombination and found that the frequency of spontaneous illegitimate recombination is enhanced by the rep mutation. In addition, illegitimate recombination was synergistically enhanced by the rep mutation and UV irradiation, showing that Rep helicase plays a role in...
