RecA Regulation by RecU and DprA During Bacillus subtilis Natural Plasmid Transformation

RecA Regulation by RecU and DprA During Bacillus subtilis Natural Plasmid Transformation

Natural plasmid transformation plays an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria. During this process, Bacillus subtilis RecA physically interacts with RecU, RecX, and DprA. These three proteins are required for plasmid transformation, but RecA is not. In vitro,...
