Abstract excerpt
RecA is required for recombinational processes and cell survival following UV-induced DNA damage. recA433 is a historically important mutant allele that contains a single amino acid substitution (R243H). This mutation separates the recombination and survival functions of RecA. recA433 mutants remain proficient in recombination as measured by conjugation or transduction, but are hypersensitive to UV-induced DNA...
