Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of Bacillus subtilis orf1177 in an otherwise Rec+ strain reduced genetic exchange and DNA repair. When the mutation was transferred into a set of recombination-deficient and repair-deficient strains, the DNA repair and recombination ability of the double or triple mutant strains was drastically reduced. B. subtilis Orf1177 protein shares substantial homology with the Escherichia coli Mdf, RecG and...
