Abstract excerpt
Genetic recombination occurring in wild type Escherichia coli is stimulated at DNA sequences known as chi sites, 5'-GCTGGTGG-3'. In vitro, homologous pairing between duplex DNA substrates dependent upon the RecA, RecBCD, and SSB proteins is stimulated by the presence of a chi sequence in the dono...
