Recognition of duplex DNA containing single-stranded regions by recA protein.

Genetic recombination in Escherichia coli requires recA protein, the product of the recA+ gene. In this paper we show that purified recA protein, which binds strongly to denatured DNA, cooperatively recognizes DNA containing short single-stranded regions. The interaction of varying amounts of recA p...
