High impact information on recX

Overexpression of RecA was found to be toxic in the absence of recX, which is found downstream of and co-transcribed with recA and is thus also affected by the deletion of recA [1].
Reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction analysis of M. smegmatis RNA demonstrated that recA and orf3 (recX) are within the same transcriptional unit [2].
