Genetic and biochemical evidence suggests that λ Orf is a recombination mediator, promoting nucleation of either bacterial RecA or phage Redβ recombinases onto single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) bound by SSB protein. We have identified a diverse family of O... Read More about Phage Orf family recombinases: conservation of activities and involvement of the central channel in DNA binding.
