Example sentences for: redβ

How can you use “redβ” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Several lines of evidence, including genetic analyses, and similarities in biochemistry and quaternary structures, suggest that the E. coli RecT and phage λ Redβ proteins are functionally equivalent as mediators of single-strand exchange in DNA recombination [ 10 12 ] . However, no sequence similarity has been detected between these proteins leaving their actual evolutionary relationships unresolved.

  • 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.

  • Such searches, with Redβ proteins from different lambdoid bacteriophages as queries, retrieved not only other obvious Redβ homologs, but also the RecT protein family.

  • 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.

  • RecT and Redβ are evolutionarily related and define a widespread family of DNA recombination proteins
