Bacillus subtilis RecA, DisA, and RadA/Sms Interplay Prevents Replication Stress by Regulating Fork Remodeling

Reviving Bacillus subtilis spores require the recombinase RecA, the DNA damage checkpoint sensor DisA, and the DNA helicase RadA/Sms to prevent a DNA replication stress. When a replication fork stalls at a template lesion, RecA filaments onto the lesion-containing gap and the fork is remodeled (fork...

description Reviving Bacillus subtilis spores require the recombinase RecA, the DNA damage checkpoint sensor DisA, and the DNA helicase RadA/Sms to prevent a DNA replication stress.
