Functional similarities between phage λ Orf and Escherichia coli RecFOR in initiation of genetic exchange

Genetic recombination in bacteriophage λ relies on DNA end processing by Exo to expose 3′-tailed strands for annealing and exchange by β protein. Phage λ encodes an additional recombinase, Orf, which participates in the early stages of recombination by supplying a function equivalent to the Escheric...
