REC, Drosophila MCM8, Drives Formation of Meiotic Crossovers (2005)

Hunter L. Blanton, Sarah J. Radford, Susan McMahan, Hutton M. Kearney, Joseph G. Ibrahim, Jeff Sekelsky

Crossovers ensure the accurate segregation of homologous chromosomes from one another during meiosis. Here, we describe the identity and function of the Drosophila melanogaster gene recombination...

The Effect of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens attR Mutation on Attachment and Root Colonization Differs between Legumes and Other Dicots

Matthysse, Ann G., McMahan, Susan

Infections of wound sites on dicot plants by Agrobacterium tumefaciens result in the formation of crown gall tumors. An early step in tumor formation is bacterial attachment to the plant cells. AttR...

Root Colonization by Agrobacterium tumefaciens Is Reduced in cel, attB, attD, and attR Mutants

Matthysse, Ann G., McMahan, Susan

Root colonization by Agrobacterium tumefaciens was measured by using tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana roots dipped in a bacterial suspension and planted in soil. Wild-type bacteria showed extensive...

Drosophila ERCC1 is required for a subset of MEI-9-dependent meiotic crossovers

Radford, Sarah J., Goley, Elizabeth, Baxter, Kimberly, McMahan, Susan, Sekelsky, Jeff

Drosophila MEI-9 is the catalytic subunit of a DNA structure-specific endonuclease required for nucleotide excision repair (NER). The enzymatic activity of this endonuclease during NER requires the...

Heteroduplex DNA in Meiotic Recombination in Drosophila mei-9 Mutants

Radford, Sarah J., McMahan, Susan, Blanton, Hunter L., Sekelsky, Jeff

Meiotic recombination gives rise to crossovers, which are required in most organisms for the faithful segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiotic cell division. Characterization of...

Meiotic Recombination in Drosophila Msh6 Mutants Yields Discontinuous Gene Conversion Tracts

Radford, Sarah J., Sabourin, Mathilde M., McMahan, Susan, Sekelsky, Jeff

Crossovers (COs) generated through meiotic recombination are important for the correct segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Several models describing the molecular mechanism of...
