Specialized transduction with lambda plac5: dependence on recB.

Abstract:

:Genetically disabled lambda plac5 transducing phage derivatives were used to study the recB dependence of recombination during specialized transduction. The frequency of transduction was normalized to colony-forming units, and the end product of recombination was monitored by scoring for addition and substitution transductants. When a chromosomal lac gene was the recipient DNA substrate molecule, both the normalized transduction frequency and the proportion of addition and substitution transductants showed essentially no recB dependence. There was a pronounced recB dependence for both normalized transduction frequency and recombination end product formation when F42 lac was the recipient DNA substrate. recB appears to have no significant role in the recombination that occurs between the two lac regions in an addition transductant. UV irradiation of the transducing phages increased the absolute level of both addition and substitution transductants obtained with a chromosomal lac gene but resulted in a considerable change in the relative frequency of addition versus substitution transductants.
