Mutation of recF, recJ, recO, recQ, or recR improves Hfr recombination in resolvase-deficient ruv recG strains of Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 1994

Abstract excerpt

The formation of recombinants in Hfr crosses was studied in Escherichia coli strains carrying combinations of genes known to affect recombination and DNA repair. Mutations in ruv and recG eliminate activities that have been shown to process Holliday junction intermediates by nuclease cleavage and...
