title: Cloning and sequence analysis of a novel member of the single-stranded DNA binding protein family.
abstract: A single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) was isolated which has unusual amino acid residues at sites previously shown to be highly conserved and critical for DNA binding. Sequence analysis suggested that these residues are characteristic of a novel class of SSBs from Gram-positive bacteria.
