Abstract excerpt
A recA mutant (recA423; Arg169-->His), with properties that should help clarify the relationship between the biochemical properties of RecA protein and its two major functions, homologous genetic recombination and recombinational DNA repair, has been isolated. The mutant has been characterized in vivo and the purified RecA423 protein has been studied in vitro. The recA423 cells are nearly as proficient in...
