pubmed:abstractText |
The formation of heteroduplex joints in Escherichia coli recombination is initiated by invasion of double-stranded DNA by a single-stranded homologue. To determine the polarity of the invasive strand, linear molecules with direct terminal repeats were released by in vivo restriction of infecting chimeric phage DNA and heteroduplex products of intramolecular recombination were analyzed. With this substrate, the invasive strand is expected to be incorporated into the circular crossover product and the complementary strand is expected to be incorporated into the reciprocal linear product. Strands of both polarities were incorporated into heteroduplex structures, but only strands ending 3' at the break were incorporated into circular products. This result indicates that invasion of the 3'-ending strand initiates the heteroduplex joint formation and that the complementary 5'-ending strand is incorporated into heteroduplex structures in the process of reciprocal strand exchange. The polarity of the invasive strand was not affected by recD, recJ, or xonA mutations. However, xonA and recJ mutations increased the proportion of heteroduplexes containing 5'-ending strands. This observation suggests that RecJ exonuclease and exonuclease I may enhance recombination by degrading the displaced strands during branch migration and thereby causing strand exchange to be unidirectional.
