The Bacillus subtilis phage
29 protein p16.7, involved in
29 DNA replication, is a membrane-localized single-stranded DNA binding protein
29-encoded integral membrane protein p16.7 in phage DNA replication was studied using a soluble variant, p16.7A, lacking the N-terminal membrane-spanning domain. Due to the protein-primed mechanism of DNA replication, the bacteriophage
29 replication intermediates contain long stretches of ssDNA. Protein p16.7A was found to be an ssDNA binding protein. In addition, by direct and functional analysis we show that protein p16.7A binds to the stretches of ssDNA of the
29 DNA replication intermediates. Properties of protein p16.7A were compared with those of the
29-encoded SSB protein p5. The results obtained show that both proteins have different, non-overlapping functions. The likely role of p16.7 in attaching
29 DNA replication intermediates to the membrane of the infected cell is discussed. Homologues of gene 16.7 are present in
29-related phages suggesting that the proposed role of p16.7 is conserved in this family of phages.
