Abstract excerpt

To investigate the DNA binding site of RecA protein, we constructed 15 recA mutants having alterations in the regions homologous to the other ssDNA binding proteins. The in vivo analyses showed that the mutational change at Arg243, Lys248, Tyr264, or simultaneously at Lys6 and Lys19, or Lys6 and...
