DNA-strand exchange promoted by RecA protein in the absence of ATP: implications for the mechanism of energy transductio...
Published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
DNA-strand exchange promoted by Escherichia coli RecA protein normally requires the presence of ATP and is accompanied by ATP hydrolysis, thereby implying a need for ATP hydrolysis. Previously, ATP hydrolysis was shown not to be required; here we demonstrate furthermore that a nucleoside triphosphate cofactor is not required for DNA-strand exchange...
