Bacillus subtilis PcrA Couples DNA Replication, Transcription, Recombination and Segregation

Bacillus subtilis PcrA abrogates replication-transcription conflicts in vivo and disrupts RecA nucleoprotein filaments in vitro. Inactivation of pcrA is lethal. We show that PcrA depletion lethality is suppressed by recJ (involved in end resection), recA (the recombinase), or mfd (transcription-coup...
