By focusing on the phage proteins that were biotinylated and normalizing the results to a control miniTurboID-GFP fusion (which remains diffuse in the host cell cytoplasm throughout infection; Extended Data Fig. 1b), we identified candidate proteins that preferentially localize in close proximity to ChmA and/or RecA (Tables 1 and 2 and Supplementary Tables 1 and 2). Here, RAD51 is linked to infection.
