...A protein, long known for their role in homologous recombination and DNA repair, have properties reminiscent of a molecular motor as well. RecA filaments consist of DNA helices lined with RecA protein. RecA filaments invade a region of double-stranded DNA with similar nucleotide sequence, displacing one strand to ......fferent."Because of its similarities both to V(D)J recombination and to otherfamilies of jumping genes, Hermes is the first real link between thetwo processes," says Craig.
