The N-terminal domain of <it>Escherichia coli </it>RecA have multiple functions in promoting homologous recombination

<p>Abstract</p> <p><it>Escherichia coli </it>RecA mediates homologous recombination, a process essential to maintaining genome integrity. In the presence of ATP, RecA proteins bind a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to form a RecA-ssDNA presynaptic nucleoprotein filament tha...
