RESUMO
The RuvC protein is important for DNA recombination and repair in Escherichia coli. The present work shows that a ruvC null mutation introduced into a recBC sbcBC background causes severe defects in chromosome segregation and cell division. Both defects were found to result from abortive recombination initiated by the RecA protein.
