PcrA-mediated disruption of RecA nucleoprotein filaments—essential role of the ATPase activity of RecA
The essential DNA helicase, PcrA, regulates recombination by displacing the recombinase RecA from the DNA. The nucleotide-bound state of RecA determines the stability of its nucleoprotein filaments. Using single-molecule fluorescence approaches, we demonstrate that RecA displacement by a translocati...
