Evidence for convergent operon evolution and in situ non-orthologous displacement of genes in operons encoding SSAPs
Contextual information from gene neighborhoods provides details regarding functional interactions of the SSAPs with DNA recombination pathways
The clustering of functionally related genes in prokaryotic genomes into co-transcribed and co-regulated units, operons, often allows functional assignments through the principle of 'guilt by association' [ 30 31 32 ] . Generally, genes whose products physically interact to form a complex or are involved in successive steps in a biochemical pathway form operons that are conserved over large evolutionary distances [ 30 ] . On previous occasions, we have used gene neighborhoods or operons to predict novel DNA repair complexes and their components [ 33 ] . Accordingly, a similar approach was applied to the three families of SSAPs (RecT/Redβ, ERF, Rad52), to shed light on their functional links.
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.
ERF defines a superfamily of SSAPs that are evolutionarily distinct from the RecT/Redβ super family
