Bacillus subtilis RarA Acts as a Positive RecA Accessory Protein

Ubiquitous RarA AAA+ ATPases play crucial roles in the cellular response to blocked replication forks in pro- and eukaryotes. Here, we provide evidence that absence of RarA reduced the viability of ΔrecA, ΔrecO, and recF15 cells during unperturbed growth. The rarA gene was epistatic to recO and recF...
