Conjugational recombination in resolvase-deficient ruvC mutants of Escherichia coli K-12 depends on recG.

Abstract excerpt
ruvC mutants of Escherichia coli appear to lack an activity that resolves Holliday intermediates into recombinant products. Yet, these strains produce close to normal numbers of recombinants in genetic crosses. This recombination proficiency was found to be a function of recG. A "mini-kan" insertion in recG was introduced into ruvA, ruvB, and ruvC strains. Conjugational recombination was reduced by more than...
