Terminal protein gene: expresses proteins binding to ITR sequences therefore functioning as origins for replication for PRD1 DNAP.
PRD1 DNA polymerase gene : encodes a DNA polymerase derived from phage PRD1, for which terminal protein (TP) bound to inverted terminal repeats (ITR) naturally serve as replication origins in the phage genome.This DNAP was mutated by the authors to make it error-prone.
Single-stranded DNA-binding protein gene: early-expressed gene in phage PRD1, hypothesized to be necessary for PRD1 replication.
Double-stranded DNA-binding protein gene: early-expressed gene in phage PRD1, hypothesized to be necessary for replication for PRD1 replication.
