Abstract excerpt

We examined the possibility that the recA441 mutation, which partially suppresses the UV sensitivity of uvr recF mutant bacteria, exerts its effect by coding for an altered RecA protein that competes more efficiently than the RecA+ protein with SSB for ssDNA in vivo. Using an assay measuring reco...
