Replisome

The replisome is a protein complex that is required and sufficient for replication of both leading and lagging strands.

RecA colocalizes to the replisome in response to endogenous and exogenous DNA damage and in response to damage-independent fork arrest (formation of DNA repair centers), repair center formation depends on RecO and RecR, and is facilitated by RecF and SsbA PubMed
