RecX facilitates homologous recombination by modulating RecA activities.
PLoS Genetics, 2012 The Bacillus subtilis recH342 strain, which decreases interspecies recombination without significantly affecting the frequency of transformation with homogamic DNA, carried a point mutation in the putative recX (yfhG) gene, and the mutation was renamed ...

The RecX protein interacts with the RecA protein and modulates its activity in Herbaspirillum seropedicae [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2012 DNA repair is crucial to the survival of all organisms. The bacterial RecA protein is a central component in the SOS response and in recombinational and SOS DNA repairs.

The Role of RecX in Mycobacteria [PDF]
, 2010 Tuberculosis is a major global public health problem which causes millions of deaths every year. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which survives and replicates within host macrophages, in which it has to overcome the effects of ...

Elucidating the functional role of Mycobacterium smegmatis recX in stress response [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 The RecX protein has attracted considerable interest because the recX mutants exhibit multiple phenotypes associated with RecA functions. To further our understanding of the functional relationship between recA and recX, the effect of different stress ...

Enhanced expression of recX in Mycobacterium tuberculosis owing to a promoter internal to recA [PDF]
Tuberculosis, 2011 SummaryRecX is a small protein that interacts with, and modulates the activity of, RecA protein. In mycobacteria the recX gene is located immediately downstream of the recA gene, and the coding regions overlap. It has previously been shown that these two

Directed Evolution of RecA Variants with Enhanced Capacity for Conjugational Recombination. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2015 The recombination activity of Escherichia coli (E. coli) RecA protein reflects an evolutionary balance between the positive and potentially deleterious effects of recombination. We have perturbed that balance, generating RecA variants exhibiting improved

Differential requirements of two recA mutants for constitutive SOS expression in Escherichia coli K-12. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Repairing DNA damage begins with its detection and is often followed by elicitation of a cellular response. In E. coli, RecA polymerizes on ssDNA produced after DNA damage and induces the SOS Response.

Mechanical force antagonizes the inhibitory effects of RecX on RecA filament formation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2014 Efficient bacterial recombinational DNA repair involves rapid cycles of RecA filament assembly and disassembly. The RecX protein plays a crucial inhibitory role in RecA filament formation and stability.
