Interestingly, and in the same vein, the RecT proteins from Bacillus species contain a short C-terminal acidic module that is missing in other RecT proteins, but is highly similar to the C-terminal region of SSBs, particularly those from Gram-positive bacteria (data not shown).
The RecT family is predominantly seen in the low-GC Gram-positive bacteria, such as Bacillus, Streptococcus, Lactococcus and Listeria, and their phages (Fig.
It has been suggested in the case of RecT that it may compete with SSB for binding single strand overhangs and thereby make them available for the annealing process [ 3 ] . Similar interactions between other SSAPs and SSB, that probably coats the ssDNA generated by nucleases, appear likely.
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.
Experimental studies have shown that the strand transfer reaction mediated by RecT and its binding to dsDNA are sensitive to Mg +2concentrations and it was proposed that the levels of free Mg +2could regulate RecT activity [ 4 ] . Similarly, Redβ has been shown to promote single strand annealing in a Mg +2-dependent manner [ 20 ] . In this context, the conservation of the two C-terminal acidic residues in the majority of members of this superfamily suggests that these might be involved in the coordination of Mg +2and implies that the metal ion-dependent conformational switching is likely to be a generic feature of this family.
