In Escherichia coli, the Rep helicase has been implicated in replication fork progression, replication restart, homologous recombination, and DNA repair. We show that a Neisseria gonorrhoeae rep mutant is deficient in the homologous-recombination-mediated processes of DNA transformation and pilus-based colony variation but not in DNA repair.
在大肠杆菌中,Rep解旋酶与复制叉推进、复制重启、同源重组及DNA修复有关。我们发现,淋病奈瑟菌rep突变体在同源重组介导的DNA转化和菌毛介导的菌落变异过程中存在缺陷,但在DNA修复方面没有缺陷。
