“…RecBCD rapidly degrades linear dsDNA and hence phage DNA, which is usually injected into the infected cell in a linear form, is susceptible to RecBCD-mediated degradation (Dillingham and Kowalczykowski, 2008). RecBCD also plays an important role in acquisition of new CRISPR spacers from phage genomes (Levy et al, 2015) and in the formation of guide DNAs for prokaryotic argonaute proteins that defend against foreign nucleic acids (Kuzmenko et al, 2020). Because RecBCD is a central immunity hub in the bacterial cell, numerous phages Ec48, gp5.9 induced Ec48, gp5.9 uninduced NC, gp5.9 induced NC, gp5.9 uninduced Ec48, gp5.9 induced Ec48, gp5.9 uninduced NC, gp5.9 induced NC, gp5.9 uninduced…”
