Ligands: SO4 Gene: exo, red-alpha, redX (Bacteriophage lambda), bet, betA, red-beta, redB (Bacteriophage lambda) Activity: Exodeoxyribonuclease (lambda-induced), with EC number 3.1.11.3 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [EXO_LAMBD] Facilitates phage DNA recombination through the double-strand break repair (DSBR) and single-strand annealing pathways. Also important for the late, rolling-circle mode of lambda DNA replication. [VBET_LAMBD] Gene bet protein functions in general recombination and in the late, rolling-circle mode of lambda DNA replication. Has a function similar to that of E.coli recT. It is a single-stranded DNA binding protein that can promote renaturation of DNA. Publication Abstract from PubMed Bacteriophage lambda encodes a DNA recombination system that includes a 5'-3' exonuclease (lambda Exo) and a single strand annealing protein (Redbeta). The two proteins form a complex that is thought to mediate loading of Redbeta directly onto the single-stranded 3'-overhang generated by lambda Exo. Here, we present a 2.3 A crystal structure of the lambda Exo trimer bound to three copies of the Redbeta C-terminal domain (CTD). Mutation of residues at the hydrophobic core of the interface disrupts complex formation in vitro and impairs recombination in vivo. The Redbeta CTD forms a three-helix bundle with unexpected structural homology to phage lambda Orf, a protein that binds to E. coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) to function as a recombination mediator. Based on this relationship, we found that Redbeta binds to full-length SSB, and to a peptide corresponding to its nine C-terminal residues, in an interaction that requires the CTD. These results suggest a dual role of the CTD, first in binding to lambda Exo to facilitate loading of Redbeta directly onto the initial single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) at a 3'-overhang, and second in binding to SSB to facilitate annealing of the overhang to SSB-coated ssDNA at the replication fork.
