recE

Unnamed Gene ID: 945918

Known also as: ECK1347; JW1344; rmuB; sbcA;


NCBI Gene ID: 945918
Species: Escherichia coli strain K-12 substr. MG1655

RecET promotes homologous recombinarion between short regions of homology, analagous to the lambda Red recombinase. sbcA suppressor mutations allow expression of recE, in some cases by fusing to the upstream racC gene. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10827]. DNA damage can occur due to a variety of environmental assaults including UV irradiation and chemical agents. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10827].
