The genome of herpes simplex virus type-1
undergoes a high frequency of homologous recombination in the absence
of a virus-encoded RecA-type protein. We hypothesized that viral
homologous recombination is mediated by the combined action of the
viral single strand DNA-binding protein (ICP8) and helicase-primase.
Our results show that ICP8 catalyzes the formation of recombination
intermediates (joint molecules) between circular single-stranded
acceptor and linear duplex donor DNA. Joint molecules formed by
invasion of a 3'-terminal strand displaces the non-complementary
5'-terminal strand, thereby creating a loading site for the
helicase-primase. Helicase-primase acts on these joint molecules to
promote ATP-dependent branch migration. Finally, we have
reconstituted strand exchange by the synchronous action of ICP8 and
helicase-primase. Based on these data, we present a recombination
mechanism for a eukaryotic DNA virus in which a single strand
DNA-binding protein and helicase cooperate to promote homologous
pairing and branch migration.
