Nucleotide sequence and further characterization of the Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7002 recA gene: complementation of a cyanobacterial recA mutation by the Escherichia coli recA gene.

Abstract excerpt

The nucleotide sequence and transcript initiation site of the Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7002 recA gene have been determined. The deduced amino acid sequence of the RecA protein of this cyanobacterium is 56% identical and 73% similar to the Escherichia coli RecA protein. Northern (RNA) blot analysis indicates that the Synechococcus strain PCC 7002 recA gene is transcribed as a monocistronic transcript 1,200...
