Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination is one of the key mechanisms responsible for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Recombinational repair normally requires a battery of proteins, each with specific DNA recognition, strand transfer, resolution, or other functions. Helicobacter pylori lacks many of the proteins normally involved in the early stage (presynapsis) of recombinational repair, but it has a RecN homologue with...
