DNA Metabolism in Balance: Rapid Loss of a RecA-Based Hyperrec Phenotype.
The RecA recombinase of Escherichia coli has not evolved to optimally promote DNA pairing and strand exchange, the key processes of recombinational DNA repair. Instead, the recombinase function of RecA protein represents an evolutionary compromise between necessary levels of recombinational DNA repa...
