Abstract excerpt
Recombination of lambda red gam phage in recD mutants is unaffected by inactivation of RecJ exonuclease. Since nucleases play redundant roles in E. coli, we inactivated several exonucleases in a recD mutant and discovered that 5'-3' exonuclease activity of RecJ and exonuclease VII is essential for lambda-recombination, whereas exonucleases of 3'-5' polarity are dispensable. The implications of the presented data...
