Single-Stranded Binding Proteins (SSB)

Single-stranded binding proteins (SSB) bind regions of DNA during DNA replication, recombination, and repair. In molecular biology, various types of SSBs have been used, including RecA and T4 Gene 32 protein. E. coli RecA facilitates the recombination of single-strand DNA fragments with homologous duplex DNA, making it useful in genetic recombination events. The bacteriophage T4 Gene 32 protein has been used to mark single-stranded DNA and improve yield during RT-PCR and PCR from soil samples.
