Disease relevance of rep

 

High impact information on rep

  • We show that the RuvAB complex is required for the formation of a RusA substrate in the polymerase III mutants dnaEts and holD, affected for the Pol III catalytic subunit and clamp loader, and in the helicase mutant rep [4].
  • No increase in linear DNA was observed in the absence of replicating chromosomes, indicating that the formation of DSBs in rep strains requires replication [5].
  • Furthermore, it is shown that dnaC824 will suppress phenotypes of priB priA300, rep priA300 and priB priC strains [6].
  • Escherichia coli rep gene: sequence of the gene, the encoded helicase, and its homology with uvrD [1].
  • The org (rep) mutations confer amino acid substitutions in the viral coat protein, a constituent of the prohead, and the viral A protein, a constituent of the preinitiation complex [7].
 

Biological context of rep

 

Associations of rep with chemical compounds

  • The location of the promoter and the beginning of the protein were confirmed by S1 nuclease mapping of the 5' end of rep mRNA and determination of the NH2-terminal sequence of the rep protein [8].
  • Vector pAG24 with kanamycin gene and two deletion derivatives pAG25 and pAG26 without rep gene from plasmid pAG20 were constructed [11].
 

Other interactions of rep

  • Furthermore, they affect the growth of rep mutants, and to a lesser extent, that of recA mutants [12].
