Chi and the RecBC D enzyme of Escherichia coli.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 1994

Myers R S, Stahl F W

Abstract excerpt

The products of genes recB and recC are responsible for conjugal recombination and for the repair of chromosomal double chain breaks in Escherichia coli. The product of the recD gene, which combines with the RecB and RecC proteins to comprise the RecBCD enzyme, is not required for either recombination or repair. On the contrary, RecBCD enzyme is a potent exonuclease which inhibits recombination by destroying...
