Type: | Family | Name: | RadC protein |
Description: | This family was named initially with reference to the Escherichia coliradC102 mutation which suggested that RadC was involved in repair of DNA lesions []. However the relevant mutation has subsequently been shown to be in recG, not radC []. In addition all attempts to characterise a radiation-related function for RadC in Streptococcus pneumoniaefailed, suggesting that it is not involved in repair of DNA lesions, in recombination during transformation, in gene conversion, nor in mismatch repair []. | Short Name: | RadC |
