This suggests that in each of these cases a RecT superfamily gene was inserted in frame into a pre-existing ERF gene leaving behind only a non-functional fragment of it (Fig.
We show that, in spite of the functional similarities, and the similar quaternary structures, there are three distinct superfamilies of SSAPs, namely the RecT/Redβ, RAD52 and ERF, that appear to be evolutionarily unrelated to each other.
Rad52 functions in conjunction with the RecA ortholog, the RAD51 recombinase in double-strand break repair and meiotic recombination [ 6 ] . RAD52 binds ssDNA during recombination and also shows a quaternary organization similar to those of RecT/Redβ and ERF [ 16 26 ] . However, RAD52-like proteins showed no detectable sequence similarity with either the ERF or the RecT/Redβ-like proteins.
These include DNA methyltransferases and the primosomal protein DnaD from low-GC Gram-positive bacteria [ 37 ] that co-occur with both ERF and RecT superfamily members (Figs.
Thus, like the RecT/Redβ superfamily, the ERF family is likely to have emerged in the temperate phages, and was disseminated to the Borrelia circular plasmids and some bacterial genomes via prophages.
