Abstract excerpt
We demonstrated that a double-stranded (ds) gap in DNA is repaired by a gene conversion mechanism in an Escherichia coli recBC sbcA23 strain, as predicted by the ds break repair models for homologous recombination. The sbcA mutation is known to induce several gene products encoded on the Rac prophage present in most strains of E. coli K-12. These include exonuclease VIII (Exo VIII), a 5' to 3' exonuclease working...
