title: Sequence of a Lactococcus lactis DNA fragment homologous to the recF gene of Bacillus subtilis.
abstract: The recF gene of Lactococcus lactis ATCC 7962 is located 3 kb downstream from the lacZ gene and is transcribed in the opposite orientation. The recF gene is immediately preceded by a 121-codon ORF, and both recF and orf121 may be transcribed from the same promoter. The deduced RecF amino-acid sequence shows high homology to that of the Bacillus subtilis and Streptococcus pyogenes RecF proteins.
