RecFOR proteins target RecA protein to a DNA gap with either DNA or RNA at the 5 terminus: implication for repair of st...
Published in Journal of Biological Chemistry
The repair of single-stranded gaps in duplex DNA by homologous recombination requires the proteins of the RecF pathway. The assembly of RecA protein onto gapped DNA (gDNA) that is complexed with the single-stranded DNA-binding protein is accelerated by the RecF, RecO, and RecR (RecFOR) proteins. Here, we show the RecFOR proteins specifically target...
