Abstract When one of two infecting lambda phage types in a replication-blocked cross is chi + and DNA packaging is divorced from the RecBCD-chi interaction, complementary chi-stimulated recombinants are recovered equally in mass lysates only if the chi + parent is in excess in the infecting parental mixture. Otherwise, the chi 0 recombinant is recovered in excess. This observation implies that, along with the chi 0 chromosome, two chi + parent chromosomes are involved in the formation of each chi + recombinant. The trimolecular nature of chi +-stimulated recombination is manifest in recombination between lambda and a plasmid. When lambda recombines with a plasmid via the RecBCD pathway, the resulting chromosome has an enhanced probability of undergoing lambda x lambda recombination in the interval into which the plasmid was incorporated. These two observations support a model in which DNA is degraded by Exo V from cos, the sequence that determines the end of packaged lambda DNA and acts as point of entry for RecBCD enzyme, to chi, the DNA sequence that stimulates the RecBCD enzyme to effect recombination. The model supposes that chi acts by ejecting the RecD subunit from the RecBCD enzyme with two consequences. (1) ExoV activity is blocked leaving a highly recombinagenic, frayed duplex end near chi, and (2) as the enzyme stripped of the RecD subunit travels beyond chi it is competent to catalyze reciprocal recombination.

Monoclonal antibodies against Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map) proteins are important tools in Johne’s disease research and diagnostics. Johne’s disease is a chronic inflammatory intestinal disease of cattle, sheep, and other ruminant animals. We have previously generated multiple sets of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in different studies; however, because many were generated and screened against a whole-cell extract of Map, the antigens that bind to these antibodies remained unknown. In this study, we used three different approaches to identify the corresponding Map antigens for 14 mAbs that could not be identified previously. In the first approach, a new Map-lambda phage expression library was screened to identify corresponding antigens for 11 mAbs. This approach revealed that mAbs 7C8, 9H3, 12E4, 3G5, and 11B8 all detect MAP_3404 encoding the biotin carboxylase subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, while mAbs 7A6, 11F8, and 10C12 detect the GroEL2 chaperonin (MAP_3936), 6C9 detects electron transfer flavoprotein (MAP_3060c), and 14G11 detects MAP_3976, a lipoprotein anchoring transpeptidase. The epitopes to a selection of these mAbs were also defined. In a second approach, MAP_2698c bound monoclonal antibody (mAb) 14D4 as determined using protein arrays. When both of these approaches failed to identify the antigen for mAb 12C9, immunoprecipitation, mass spectrometry analysis, and codon optimization was used to identify the membrane protein, MAP_4145, as the reacting antigen. Characterized antibodies were used to quickly interrogate mycobacterial proteomic preps. We conclude by providing a complete catalog of available mAbs to Map proteins, along with their cognate antigens and epitopes, if known. These antibodies are now thoroughly characterized and more useful for research and diagnostic purposes.
