Chromosomal fragmentation is the major consequence of the rdgB defect in Escherichia coli.
Genetics - 1 Feb 2006
Lukas Lisa, Kuzminov Andrei
Abstract excerpt
The rdgB mutants depend on recombinational repair of double-strand breaks. To assess other consequences of rdgB inactivation in Escherichia coli, we isolated RdgB-dependent mutants. All transposon inserts making cells dependent on RdgB inactivate genes of double-strand break repair, indicating that chromosomal fragmentation is the major consequence of RdgB inactivation.
