Escherichia coli single-strand binding protein (SSB) or phage T4 gene 32 protein reduced the amount of recA protein required to catalyze the formation of D loops from double-stranded DNA and homologous single-stranded fragments. Neither SSB nor gene 32 protein alone catalyzed the formation of D loops, and excessive amounts of either protein, amounts that were sufficient to saturate the single strands, inhibited the formation of D loops completely. Both the stimulatory activity and the inhibitory activity of SSB resisted boiling, which is consistent with the known thermal stability of SSB, whereas the gene 32 protein was inactivated by heating. The formation of D loops in the presence of both recA protein and SSB required homologous DNA and ATP. Spermidine aided the combined action of SSB and recA protein in forming D loops, but Mg2+ alone was sufficient as a counterion.
大肠杆菌单链结合蛋白(SSB)或噬菌体T4基因32蛋白减少了催化双链DNA与同源单链片段形成D环所需的RecA蛋白量。单独的SSB或基因32蛋白均不能催化D环的形成,并且过量的这两种蛋白(足以使单链饱和的量)会完全抑制D环的形成。SSB的刺激活性和抑制活性均能抵抗煮沸,这与已知的SSB热稳定性一致,而基因32蛋白加热后会失活。在RecA蛋白和SSB同时存在的情况下,D环的形成需要同源DNA和ATP。亚精胺有助于SSB和RecA蛋白共同作用形成D环,但仅Mg2+作为抗衡离子就足够了。
