Overcoming lysogenization defect (OLD) proteins are a conserved family of ATP‐powered
nucleases that function in anti‐phage defense. Recent bioinformatic, genetic, and …

In bacteria, one type of homologous-recombination-based DNA-repair pathway involves
RecFOR proteins that bind at the junction between single-stranded (ss) and double …

Simple Summary This review recapitulates the initial knowledge acquired with genetics and
biochemical experiments on Recombination mediator proteins in different domains of life …

The ComFC protein is essential for natural transformation, a process that plays a major role
in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors across bacteria. However …

Escherichia coli RecO is a recombination mediator protein that functions in the RecF
pathway of homologous recombination, in concert with RecR, and interacts with E. coli …

The recombination mediator complex RecFOR, consisting of the RecF, RecO, and RecR
proteins, is needed to initiate homologous recombination in bacteria by positioning the …

The high radioresistance of Nostoc sp. strain PCC7120 is indicative of a robust DNA repair
pathway. In the absence of NHEJ pathway and the canonical RecBCD proteins, the RecF …

Natural transformation plays a major role in the spreading of antibiotic resistances and
