What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Interaction with single-stranded DNA-binding protein modulates Escherichia coli RadD DNA repair activities.
    Title: Interaction with single-stranded DNA-binding protein modulates Escherichia coli RadD DNA repair activities.
  2. Biochemical and Structural Analyses Shed Light on the Mechanisms of RadD DNA Binding and Its ATPase from Escherichia coli.
    Title: Biochemical and Structural Analyses Shed Light on the Mechanisms of RadD DNA Binding and Its ATPase from Escherichia coli.
  3. Resolving Toxic DNA repair intermediates in every E. coli replication cycle: critical roles for RecG, Uup and RadD.
    Title: Resolving Toxic DNA repair intermediates in every E. coli replication cycle: critical roles for RecG, Uup and RadD.
  4. RadD protein suppresses crossovers, and Uup prevents nucleoid mis-segregation during Dna replication of defective DNA sequences.
    Title: Frequent template switching in postreplication gaps: suppression of deleterious consequences by the Escherichia coli Uup and RadD proteins.
  5. it is likely that the repair function of RadD is mediated through interaction with SSB at the site of damage.
    Title: Escherichia coli RadD Protein Functionally Interacts with the Single-stranded DNA-binding Protein.
  6. investigation of the function of yejH; established a role for yejH gene product in repair of double-strand breaks that largely overlaps that of the genes radA and recG; propose yejH be renamed radD, reflecting its role in DNA repair of radiation damage
    Title: Escherichia coli radD (yejH) gene: a novel function involved in radiation resistance and double-strand break repair.
