RecOR suppression of recF mutant phenotypes in Escherichia coli K-12.
The recF, recO, and recR genes form the recFOR epistasis group for DNA repair. recF mutants are sensitive to UV irradiation and fail to properly induce the SOS response. Using plasmid derivatives that overexpress combinations of the recO+ and recR+ genes, we tested the hypothesis that high-level expression of recO+ and recR+ (recOR) in vivo will indirectly suppress the recF mutant phenotypes me...
متن کاملRecFOR and RecOR as distinct RecA loading pathways.
The molecular role of the RecF protein in loading RecA protein onto single-stranded DNA (ssDNA)-binding protein-coated ssDNA has been obscured by the facility with which the RecO and RecR proteins alone perform this function. We now show that RecFOR and RecOR define distinct RecA loading functions that operate optimally in different contexts. RecFOR, but not RecOR, is most effective when RecF(R...
متن کاملRecFOR function is required for DNA repair and recombination in a RecA loading-deficient recB mutant of Escherichia coli.
The RecA loading activity of the RecBCD enzyme, together with its helicase and 5' --> 3' exonuclease activities, is essential for recombination in Escherichia coli. One particular mutant in the nuclease catalytic center of RecB, i.e., recB1080, produces an enzyme that does not have nuclease activity and is unable to load RecA protein onto single-stranded DNA. There are, however, previously publ...
متن کاملCrystallization of a member of the recFOR DNA repair pathway, RecO, with and without bound oligonucleotide.
RecFOR proteins are important for DNA repair by homologous recombination in bacteria. The RecO protein from Thermus thermophilus was cloned and purified, and its binding to oligonucleotides was characterized. The protein was crystallized alone and in complex with a 14-mer oligonucleotide. Both crystal forms grow under different crystallization conditions in the same space group, P3(1)21 or P3(2...
متن کاملRecF and RecR Play Critical Roles in the Homologous Recombination and Single-Strand Annealing Pathways of Mycobacteria.
Mycobacteria encode three DNA double-strand break repair pathways: (i) RecA-dependent homologous recombination (HR), (ii) Ku-dependent nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), and (iii) RecBCD-dependent single-strand annealing (SSA). Mycobacterial HR has two presynaptic pathway options that rely on the helicase-nuclease AdnAB and the strand annealing protein RecO, respectively. Ablation of adnAB or re...
