Amundsen S, Smith G
J Mol Biol . 2024 Feb; 436(6):168482. PMID: 38331210
Repair of broken DNA is essential for life; the reactions involved can also promote genetic recombination to aid evolution. In Escherichia coli, RecBCD enzyme is required for the major pathway...

Amundsen S, Smith G
Microbiol Mol Biol Rev . 2023 Dec; 87(4):e0004123. PMID: 38047637
SUMMARYRecBCD enzyme is a multi-functional protein that initiates the major pathway of homologous genetic recombination and DNA double-strand break repair in . It is also required for high cell viability...

Amundsen S, Richardson A, Ha K, Smith G
Genetics . 2022 Dec; 223(3). PMID: 36521180
Escherichia coli RecBCD helicase-nuclease promotes vital homologous recombination-based repair of DNA double-strand breaks. The RecB nuclease domain (Nuc) is connected to the RecB helicase domain by a 19-amino-acid tether. When...

Amundsen S, Taylor A, Smith G
Sci Rep . 2020 Nov; 10(1):19415. PMID: 33154402
Repair of broken DNA by homologous recombination requires coordinated enzymatic reactions to prepare it for interaction with intact DNA. The multiple activities of enterobacterial RecBCD helicase-nuclease are coordinated by Chi...
5.
Amundsen S, Smith G
Nucleic Acids Res . 2018 Nov; 47(1):197-209. PMID: 30445486
In bacteria, repair of DNA double-strand breaks uses a highly conserved helicase-nuclease complex to unwind DNA from a broken end and cut it at specific DNA sequences called Chi. In...
6.
Amundsen S, Sharp J, Smith G
Genetics . 2016 Jul; 204(1):139-52. PMID: 27401752
RecBCD enzyme is a complex, three-subunit protein machine essential for the major pathway of DNA double-strand break repair and homologous recombination in Escherichia coli Upon encountering a Chi recombination-hotspot during...
7.
Taylor A, Amundsen S, Smith G
Nucleic Acids Res . 2016 Jun; 44(17):8216-28. PMID: 27330137
Homologous recombination occurs especially frequently near special chromosomal sites called hotspots. In Escherichia coli, Chi hotspots control RecBCD enzyme, a protein machine essential for the major pathway of DNA break-repair...

Taylor A, Amundsen S, Guttman M, Lee K, Luo J, Ranish J, et al.
J Mol Biol . 2014 Jul; 426(21):3479-99. PMID: 25073102
Faithful repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination is crucial to maintain functional genomes. The major Escherichia coli pathway of DNA break repair requires RecBCD enzyme, a complex protein...

Amundsen S, Spicer T, Karabulut A, Londono L, Eberhart C, Fernandez Vega V, et al.
ACS Chem Biol . 2012 Mar; 7(5):879-91. PMID: 22443934
The AddAB and RecBCD helicase-nucleases are related enzymes prevalent among bacteria but not eukaryotes and are instrumental in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and in genetic recombination. Although these...

Amundsen S, Fero J, Salama N, Smith G
J Biol Chem . 2009 Apr; 284(25):16759-16766. PMID: 19395381
Helicobacter pylori infection of the human stomach is associated with disease-causing inflammation that elicits DNA damage in both bacterial and host cells. Bacteria must repair their DNA to persist. The...
