Sažetak

Biochemical experiments have suggested that the Gam protein from phage X inhibits all the catalytic activities of the RecBCD enzyme of Escherichia coli. The genetic data are at variance with these experiments. The RecBCD-binding Gam protein has profound effects on the physiology of phage X and its host. These effects cannot be explained by the inhibitory action of Gam; the RecBCD-Gam complex apparently retains certain enzymatic activities. The mechanism by which its activities aid a substantial fraction of the phage to escape the EcoK restriction is proposed.
