Disease relevance of recA
- Transcriptional analysis of the recA gene of Streptococcus thermophilus [1].
- In Escherichia coli the LexA protein acts as a recA repressor and is able, in response to DNA damage, of RecA-promoted self-cleavage, thus allowing recA transcription [1].
High impact information on recA
- The analysis of deletion mutants and of translational gene fusions showed that a DNA region of 83 base pairs, containg the recA promoter and the transcriptional start site, is sufficient to ensure normal expression of the gene [1].
