Modulating cellular recombination potential through alterations in RecA structure and regulation.
The wild-type Escherichia coli RecA protein is a recombinase platform with unrealized recombination potential. We have explored the factors affecting recombination during conjugation with a quantitative assay. Regulatory proteins that affect RecA function have the capacity to increase or decrease recombination frequencies by factors up to sixfold. Autoinhibition by the RecA C-terminus can affec...
متن کاملRecX Facilitates Homologous Recombination by Modulating RecA Activities
The Bacillus subtilis recH342 strain, which decreases interspecies recombination without significantly affecting the frequency of transformation with homogamic DNA, carried a point mutation in the putative recX (yfhG) gene, and the mutation was renamed as recX342. We show that RecX (264 residues long), which shares partial identity with the Proteobacterial RecX (<180 residues), is a genuine rec...
متن کاملRecA-DNA helical complexes in genetic recombination.
RecA protein (product of the recA gene), without the help of any other protein, is able in an ATP-dependent reaction to mediate the entire recombination process including the search for homology, homologous pairing and strand transfer (for a review see Radding, 1982; Howard-Flanders et al., 1984b). In this short review, we describe RecA-DNA complexes and how formation of a RecA complex with sin...
متن کاملHigh fidelity of RecA-catalyzed recombination:
Homologous recombination plays a key role in generating genetic diversity, while maintaining protein functionality. The mechanisms by which RecA enables a single-stranded segment of DNA to recognize a homologous tract within a whole genome are poorly understood. The scale by which homology recognition takes place is of a few tens of base pairs, after which the quest for homology is over. To stu...
متن کاملEmotion Regulation Problems and Addiction Potential in Iranian Students
Objective: Recent studies have shown that emotion dysregulation is one of the most significant factors in young people’s tendency towards risky behaviors. Therefore, it seems necessary to study the role of emotion regulation strategies in drug-related behaviors. The goal of the present study was to examine the relationship between emotion regulation strategies, and addiction potential in ...
