Competence induction of homologous recombination genes protects pneumococcal cells from genotoxic stress.

2024-07-12

Abstract excerpt

Homologous recombination (HR) is a universally conserved mechanism of DNA strand exchange between homologous sequences, driven in bacteria by the universal recombinase RecA. HR is key for the maintenance of bacterial genomes via replication fork restart and DNA repair, as well as for their plasticity via the widespread mechanism of natural transformation. Transformation involves the capture and internalisation of...
