Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination-dependent DNA replication (RDR) of a lambda cos site-carrying plasmid is demonstrated in E. coli cells when the cells express lambda terminase that introduces a double-stranded break into the cos site. RDR occurs in normal wild-type cells if the plasmid also contains the recombination hotspot chi. Chi is dispensable when cells are induced for the SOS response or contain a recD mutation....
