The product of the lexC gene of Escherichia coli is single-stranded DNA-binding protein.
Extracts from lexC113 cells could not support phage G4 DNA-dependent replication unless supplemented with single-stranded DNA-binding protein. Purified lexC113 binding protein supported synthesis in a reconstituted replication assay, using purified proteins at 30 but not at 42 degrees C, indicating that the product of the lexC113 gene is an altered single-stranded DNA-binding protein.
