NameaddAB pathway
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionThe recBCD pathway, important in double stranded break DNA repair by homologous recombination, is replaced by AddAB in several bacterial lineages. The AddAB gene pairs are quite distant, in terms of sequence similarity, between that of Gram-positive bacteria and that of alphaproteobacteria. Note that an alternative, less common method of repair of double stranded breaks is nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ), and that pathway may coexist with AddAB in a genome. In some species, AddAB is called RexAB.
