Single-particle (molecule) tracking (SPT/SMT) is a powerful method to study dynamic processes in living bacterial cells at high spatial and temporal resolution. We have performed single-molecule imaging of early DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair events during homologous recombination in the model bacterium Bacillus subtilis. Our findings reveal that DNA repair centres arise at all sites on the chromosome and that RecN, RecO and RecJ perform fast, enzyme-like functions during detection and pro ...[more]
