Evidence that SbcB and RecF pathway functions contribute to RecBCD-dependent transductional recombination.
A role for the RecF, RecJ, and SbcB proteins in the RecBCD-dependent recombination pathway is suggested on the basis of the effect of null recF, recJ, and sbcB mutations in Salmonella typhimurium on a "short-homology" P22 transduction assay. The assay requires recombination within short (approximately 3-kb) sequences that flank the selected marker and lie at the ends of the transduced fragment....
متن کاملHomologous Recombination by the RecBCD and RecF Pathways
In all cells, genetic recombination is used to repair DNA breaks and, as a result, genetic information is exchanged between homologous DNA molecules. Discontinuities in DNA strands, specifically double-strand DNA breaks and single-strand DNA gaps, attract the enzymes responsible for the initiation of homologous recombination. In wild-type Escherichia coli, two distinct pathways are responsible ...
متن کاملRecBCD and RecF Pathways
Homologous, or general, recombination is a crucial biological process that involves the paring and transfer of strands between DNA molecules that share a region of significant sequence homology. After its discovery in 1946 by Lederberg and Tatum (48), homologous recombination in bacteria was associated with the sexual process of conjugation and was viewed as an evolutionary mechanism both for s...
متن کاملRole of the RecBCD recombination pathway in Salmonella virulence.
Mutants of Salmonella enterica lacking the RecBC function are avirulent in mice and unable to grow inside macrophages (N. A. Buchmeier, C. J. Lipps, M. Y. H. So, and F. Heffron, Mol. Microbiol. 7:933-936, 1993). The virulence-related defects of RecBC(-) mutants are not suppressed by sbcB and sbcCD mutations, indicating that activation of the RecF recombination pathway cannot replace the virulen...
متن کاملPathways for homologous recombination between chromosomal direct repeats in Salmonella typhimurium.
Homologous recombination pathways probably evolved primarily to accomplish chromosomal repair and the formation of and resolution of duplications by sister-chromosome exchanges. Various DNA lesions initiate these events. Classical recombination assays, involving bacterial sex, focus attention on double-strand ends of DNA. Sexual exchanges, initiated at these ends, depend on the RecBCD pathway. ...
