Structural insights into the unique single-stranded DNA-binding mode of Helicobacter pylori DprA
24 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
Natural transformation (NT) in bacteria is a complex process, including binding, uptake, transport and recombination of exogenous DNA into the chromosome, consequently generating genetic diversity and driving evolution. DNA processing protein A (DprA), which is distributed among virtually all bacterial species, is involved in binding to the internalized single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) and promoting the loading of...
