Double-strand break repair and recombination-dependent replication of DNA in bacteriophage T4 in the absence of UvsX recombinase: Replicative resolution pathway

► Bacteriophage T4 mutant in uvsX gene executes recombination-dependent replication but does it by a qualitatively different way. ► Replication resolution mechanism operates in DNA arrest mutant of bacteriophage T4 ► UvsX recombinase of bacteriophage T4 participate in formation of Holliday Junction. ► Recombinational analysis of the double-strand break repair in bacteriophage T4.
