The genomes of cellular organisms are organized as double-stranded DNA, a structure that must be unwound to provide DNA replication, recombination, and repair machinery access to genomic information. However, DNA unwinding comes with inherent risks to genome stability. To help mediate these risks, bacterial, archael, and eukaryotic cells have evolved protective ssDNA-binding proteins (SSBs) that bind ssDNA with high affinity and specificity. SSBs also aid genome metabolic processes through direct interactions with key proteins in genome maintenance enzymes. Single-Stranded DNA Binding...
