25 years on and no end in sight: a perspective on the role of RecG protein.

Current genetics - 1 Nov 2016

Lloyd Robert G, Rudolph Christian J

Abstract excerpt

The RecG protein of Escherichia coli is a double-stranded DNA translocase that unwinds a variety of branched substrates in vitro. Although initially associated with homologous recombination and DNA repair, studies of cells lacking RecG over the past 25 years have led to the suggestion that the protein might be multi-functional and associated with a number of additional cellular processes, including initiation of...
