Enzymatic properties of the RecA803 protein, a partial suppressor of recF mutations

A study was conducted on the enzymatic properties of the RecA803 protein. This protein is a partial suppressor of the recombinational repair defect of recF mutations.RecA803 was compared with the wild-type protein and exhibited greater DNA-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity. RecA803's ATPase activity was also found to be resistant to inhibition by the single-stranded dNA binding protein and it also had a quicker rate of association with ssDNA.
