...Sean D. Colloms Xer site-specific recombination at cer and psi converts bacterial plasmid multimers into monomers so that they can be efficiently segregated to both daughter cells at cell division. Recombination is catalysed by the XerC and XerD recombinases acting at ~30 bp core sites...

... J factor partition function site-specific recombination Simultaneous binding of multiple protein factors to two or more DNA sequences is a common aspect of gene expression, genetic recombination, DNA replication and DNA repair. The target sites involved in these interactions...

... (Sheffield, U.K.). DNA cleavage serine recombinase Sin site-specific recombination strand exchange Tn 3 resolvase We are very grateful for discussion and communication of results from Dr Phoebe Rice (University of Chicago) and her research group, which have informed much of this work. We...

...Femi J. Olorunniji; W. Marshall Stark The active-site interactions involved in the catalysis of DNA site-specific recombination by the serine recombinases are still incompletely understood. Recent crystal structures of synaptic γδ resolvase–DNA intermediates and biochemical analysis of Tn 3...
