Abstract
Our knowledge of DNA recombination processes is based on classical genetic experiments in eukaryotes (especially in fungi), which resulted in the formulation of a recombination model by R. Holliday about 18 years ago (Holliday, 1964). Biochemical support for the model has come from studies with small prokaryotic DNA molecules and in the last few years, studies on E. coli proteins involved in recombination, namely single-stranded DNA-binding proteins and a nicking-closing enzyme (topoisomerase), have deepened our understanding of recombination processes. The fusion of data originating from classical genetic experiments and of biochemical studies in prokaryotes has led to a coherent model for recombination, which has been reviewed in detail recently by Dressler and Potter (1982).
