Molecular genetic research on bacteriophage lambda carried out during its golden age from
the mid-1950s to mid-1980s was critically important in the attainment of our current …

Nucleases cleave the phosphodiester bonds of nucleic acids and may be endo or exo,
DNase or RNase, topoisomerases, recombinases, ribozymes, or RNA splicing enzymes. In …

Although homologous recombination and DNA repair phenomena in bacteria were initially
extensively studied without regard to any relationship between the two, it is now appreciated …

Summary Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPRs) and the
associated proteins (Cas) comprise a system of adaptive immunity against viruses and …

The ability to recognize and repair abnormal DNA structures is common to all forms of life.
Studies in a variety of species have identified an incredible diversity of DNA repair …

▪ Abstract The RuvA, RuvB, and RuvC proteins in Escherichia coli play important roles in the
late stages of homologous genetic recombination and the recombinational repair of …

We have determined the X-ray crystal structures of two DNA Holliday junctions (HJs) bound
by Cre recombinase. The HJ is a four-way branched structure that occurs as an intermediate …

In bacteria, the major function of homologous genetic recombination is re-combinational
DNA repair. This is not a process reserved only for rare double-strand breaks caused by …

Inverted repeats occur nonrandomly in the DNA of most organisms. Stem‐loops and
cruciforms can form from inverted repeats. Such structures have been detected in pro‐and …
