Abstract

Recombination of T4 phage is not controlled by the host recA gene but by an analogous phage gene, uvsX. We have tested the hypothesis that recA protein is inactive in T4-infected cells because it is unable to catalyze reactions involving single stranded DNA containing glucosyl-hydroxylmethyl-deoxycytidine. We found, however, that with modified and unmodified deoxycytidine containing DNAs, uvsX protein and recA protein catalyze in vitro reactions related to DNA recombination, but in T4-infected cells recA protein fails to promote strand transfer of DNA which contains unmodified deoxycytidine.
