RecA homology search is promoted by mechanical stress along the scanned duplex DNA

A RecA–single-stranded DNA (RecA–ssDNA) filament searches a genome for sequence homology by rapidly binding and unbinding double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) until homology is found. We demonstrate that pulling on the opposite termini (3′ and 5′) of one of the two DNA strands in a dsDNA molecule stabilizes...
