Bacillus subtilis MutS Modulates RecA-Mediated DNA Strand Exchange Between Divergent DNA Sequences

Bacillus subtilis MutS Modulates RecA-Mediated DNA Strand Exchange Between Divergent DNA Sequences

The efficiency of horizontal gene transfer, which contributes to acquisition and spread of antibiotic resistance and pathogenicity traits, depends on nucleotide sequence and different mismatch-repair (MMR) proteins participate in this process. To study how MutL and MutS MMR proteins regulate recombi...
