Functional Division Between the RecA1 and RecA2 Proteins in Myxococcus xanthus

Functional Division Between the RecA1 and RecA2 Proteins in Myxococcus xanthus

Myxococcus xanthus DK1622 has two RecA genes, recA1 (MXAN_1441) and recA2 (MXAN_1388), with unknown functional differentiation. Herein, we showed that both recA genes were induced by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation but that the induction of recA1 was more delayed than that of recA2. Deletion of recA1 d...
