While much of this volume focuses on mammalian DNA repair systems that are directly involved in genome stability and cancer, it is important to still be mindful of model systems from prokaryotes. Herein we review the Red recombination system of bacteriophage λ, which consists of an exonuclease for resecting dsDNA ends, and a single-strand annealing protein (SSAP) for binding the resulting 3′-overhang and annealing it to a complementary strand. The genetics and biochemistry of Red have been studied for over 50 years, in work that has laid much of the foundation for understanding DNA recombination in higher eukaryotes. In fact, the Red exonuclease (λ exo) is homologous to Dna2, a nuclease involved in DNA end-resection in eukaryotes, and the Red annealing protein (Redβ) is homologous to Rad52, the primary SSAP in eukaryotes. While eukaryotic recombination involves an elaborate network of proteins that is still being unraveled, the phage systems are comparatively simple and streamlined, yet still encompass the fundamental features of recombination, namely DNA end-resection, homologous pairing (annealing), and a coupling between them. Moreover, the Red system has been exploited in powerful methods for bacterial genome engineering that are important for functional genomics and systems biology. However, several mechanistic aspects of Red, particularly the action of the annealing protein, remain poorly understood. This review will focus on the proteins of the Red recombination system, with particular attention to structural and mechanistic aspects, and how the lessons learned can be applied to eukaryotic systems.
