recT

Unnamed Gene ID: 945917

Known also as: ECK1346; JW1343;


NCBI Gene ID: 945917
Species: Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

RecT still functions without RecE, less efficiently, thus it a short homology recombinase, useful for recombineering. recT is activated by the sbcA mutation. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG11899]. The Rac prophage of Escherichia coli encodes two proteins of the ATP-independent RecE recombination pathway involved in homologous pairing and strand exchange. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11899].
