Journal ArticleDOI
Double-strand break repair in bacteria: a view from Bacillus subtilis.
Silvia Ayora,Begoña Carrasco,Paula P. Cárdenas,Carolina Elvira César,Cristina Cañas,Tribhuwan Yadav,Chiara Marchisone,Juan C. Alonso +7 more
TL;DR: The functions that are known to contribute to DNA DSB repair in B. subtilis are examined, and their properties are compared with those of other bacterial phyla.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic recombination in Bacillus subtilis : a division of labor between two single-strand DNA-binding proteins
Tribhuwan Yadav,Begoña Carrasco,Angela R. Myers,Nicholas P. George,James L. Keck,Juan C. Alonso +5 more
TL;DR: The results provide a mechanistic framework for rationalizing the coordinated events modulated by SsbA, SsbB and RecO that are crucial for RecA-dependent chromosomal transformation andRecA-independent plasmid transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus subtilis RecU protein cleaves Holliday junctions and anneals single-stranded DNA
TL;DR: Results suggest that RecU, which cleaves recombination intermediates with high specificity, might also help in their assembly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fur activates the expression of Salmonella enterica pathogenicity island 1 by directly interacting with the hilD operator in vivo and in vitro.
TL;DR: Together, these results present the first evidence that Fur·Mn2+, by binding to the upstream BoxA sequence, directly stimulates the expression of hilD in S. enterica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus subtilis RecU Holliday-junction resolvase modulates RecA activities
TL;DR: It is proposed that RecU modulates RecA activities by promoting RecA-catalyzed strand invasion and inhibiting RecU-mediated branch migration, by preventing RecA filament disassembly, and suggest a potential mechanism for the control of resolvasome assembly.
