MATERIALS AND METHODSIn vitro recombination assay. The in vitro packaging system for phage X DNA was used for the recombination assay (Kobayashi and Ikeda 1977). A standard packaging mixture was prepared from induced lysogens of E. coli KI2: 594 (XcI857Dam15Flam96BSam7) and 594 (XcI857Eam4Sam7). Packaging mixtures were also prepared from lysogens containing various combinations of bacterial rec mutations and viral int, red, and deletion mutations. A plasmid DNA carrying the ampicillin resistance (Ap r) determinant (about 1# g/assay) was added to the packaging mixture and incubated for 90 minutes at 28~ with gentle shaking. In addition to the DNA, the incubation mixture (35# 1) contained 1.5 x 109 induced cells, 50 mM Tris-HC1 (pH 7.4), 7 mM MgC12, 7 mM KCI, 7 mM NaCI, 0.15 mM EDTA, 10% dimethyl sulfoxide, 7 mM spermidine, and 1 mM ATP. The reaction was stopped by adding 1 ml of SMC buffer (Kobayashi and Ikeda 1977) containing 10# g/ml of pancreatic DNase and one drop of CHCI 3. The resulting phage suspension was purified by low-speed and high-speed centrifugation and assayed for plaque formation and Apr transduction capability. Apr transduction was carried out by infection to E. coli Ymel and spreading to a~, agar plate containing 20# g/ml of ampicillin.Heteroduplex analysis. Heteroduplex molecules were analyzed by the method of Davis et al.(1971) with some modifications. Phage particles were purified by CsCI density gradient centrifugation. An aliquot of phage suspension (5• l0 9 particles) was mixed with 10# 1 of 0.2 M EDTA, adjusted to 90# 1 with water, and then mixed with 10# 1 of 1 M NaOH for denaturation. After 10 minutes at room temperature, 100/d of formamide and 10# 1 of 2 M Tris-HCl (pH 6.7) were added to the mixture and incubated for 90 minutes at room temperature. A 3# 1 portion of the mixture was mixed with 15# 1 of formamide, 2.5# 1 of 1 M Tris-HC1 (pH 8.0), 1# 1 of 0.25 M EDTA, 1.5/tl of 1 mg/ml of cytochrome c and adjusted to a volume of 25# 1 with water. The mixture was spread onto a hypophase of water. The protein monolayer was picked up with a Parlodion-coated copper grid, dehydrated with 90% ethanol, stained with 5• 10-5 M uranyl acetate for 30 seconds and destained with hexane. Grids were rotary-shadowed with a Pt-Pd wire
