Abstract excerpt
The role of ATP hydrolysis in RecA protein-mediated DNA strand exchange reactions remains controversial. Competing models suggest that ATP hydrolysis is coupled either to a simple redistribution of RecA monomers within a filament to repair filament discontinuities, or more directly to rotation of the DNA substrates to drive branch movement unidirectionally. Here, we test key predictions of the RecA redistribution...
