Document Summary

Requires a short sequence recognized by recombination enzyme. Three functions for generalized recombination in the microbial cell: likely first evolved as an internal method of repair. Fix mutations or restart stalled replication forks. Once the chromosome has been replicated you have two copies of the gene. Instead of taking dna that"s replicated within the same cell, you"re taking pieces of. Reca is the central protein in generalized recombination. Scans dna molecules for homology & aligns homologous. And this wreck a filament that forms, reca filament regions, forming a triplex dna molecule, or synapse . guides the recombination event and crossover event, between a target and insertion sequence. Homologs of reca are found in many species. It can survives 10,000,000 msv of radiation chromosomes after extreme radiation damage. exposure. They can do survive this because of generalized recombination through reca. Reca comes along, forms these filaments to stitch the chromosome back together after this radiation damage.
