Abstract

The Escherichia coli RecF, RecO, and RecR proteins were analyzed for their effect on RecA-mediated pairing of single-stranded circular DNA and homologous linear duplex DNA substrates. As shown by other workers, joint molecule formation by RecA was inhibited by E. coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) when it was added to single-stranded DNA before RecA. This inhibitory effect was overcome by the addition of RecO and RecR or RecF, RecO, and RecR. Both the rate and extent of joint molecule formation were restored to the maximal level observed when SSB was added after RecA. RecF, RecO, and RecR proteins had no effect on the conversion of joint molecules to final products and only appeared to stimulate an early step in the pairing reaction. The stimulatory effect of RecF, RecO, and RecR was not seen without SSB or when SSB was added after RecA. RecF protein by itself inhibited reactions in mixtures containing RecA and SSB, and this inhibition was overcome by the addition of RecO and RecR. These data suggest that RecO and RecR, and possibly RecF, help RecA overcome inhibition by SSB and utilize SSB-single-stranded-DNA complexes as substrates.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
