Abstract excerpt
Blocking replication forks in the Escherichia coli chromosome by ectopic Ter sites renders the RecBCD pathway of homologous recombination and SOS induction essential for viability. In this work, we show that the E. coli helicase II (UvrD) is also essential for the growth of cells where replication forks are arrested at ectopic Ter sites. We propose that UvrD is required for Tus removal from Ter sites. The...
