- Chapter One: RecBCD enzyme and Chi recombination hotspots as determinants of self vs. non-self: Myths and mechanisms
- Abstract
- 1: Introduction
- 2: Chi is more frequent in many bacterial species and E. coli phages and plasmids than in E. coli itself
- 3: Chi is active in “foreign” species
- 4: Is Chi “over-represented” in E. coli’s genome?
- 5: “Chi” sequence of S. aureus also comports with its codon usage
- 6: Temperate phage P1 contains 50 Chi sites, likely uses them to its advantage, and appears to select for Chi as a recombination hotspot
- 7: A myth: “Chi converts RecBCD from phage destruction to DNA repair”
- 8: An observation: RecBCD destroys DNA in E. coli only if it cannot recombine
- 9: Mechanisms employing RecBCD that do distinguish self vs. non-self DNA
- 10: Conclusion: Telling self from non-self is complex
- 11: Methods of data analysis
