Prototype Foamy Virus Integrase Displays Unique Biochemical Activities among Retroviral Integrases [PDF]

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Integrases of different retroviruses assemble as functional complexes with varying multimers of the protein. Retroviral integrases require a divalent metal cation to perform one-step transesterification catalysis.

Integrase and integration: biochemical activities of HIV-1 integrase [PDF]

open access: yesRetrovirology, 2008
Integration of retroviral DNA is an obligatory step of retrovirus replication because proviral DNA is the template for productive infection. Integrase, a retroviral enzyme, catalyses integration.

A population‐based temporal logic gate for timing and recording chemical events [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2016
Engineered bacterial sensors have potential applications in human health monitoring, environmental chemical detection, and materials biosynthesis. While such bacterial devices have long been engineered to differentiate between combinations of inputs ...

Application of serine integrases for secondary metabolite pathway assembly in Streptomyces [PDF]

open access: yesSynthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2020
Serine integrases have been shown to be efficient tools for metabolic pathway assembly. To further improve the flexibility and efficiency of pathway engineering via serine integrases, we explored how multiple orthogonally active serine integrases can be ...

Genetic characteristics and integration specificity of Salmonella enterica temperate phages [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionTemperate phages can engage in the horizontal transfer of functional genes to their bacterial hosts. Thus, their genetic material becomes an intimate part of bacterial genomes and plays essential roles in bacterial mutation and evolution ...

Substrate specificity of Ty1 integrase [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal of Virology, 1995
Integration of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae retrotransposon Ty1 requires the element-encoded integrase (IN) protein, which is a component of cytoplasmic virus-like particles (VLPs). Using purified recombinant Ty1 IN and an oligonucleotide integration assay based on Ty1 long terminal repeat sequences, we have compared IN activity on substrates having ...

Variable orthogonality of serine integrase interactions within the ϕC31 family [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Serine integrases are phage- (or mobile element-) encoded enzymes that catalyse site-specific recombination reactions between a short DNA sequence on the phage genome (attP) and a corresponding host genome sequence (attB), thereby integrating the phage ...

There and turn back again: the application of phage serine integrases in eukaryotic systems [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Serine integrases (Ints) have gained prominence and have been extensively used in Synthetic Biology due to their ability to modify DNA sequences. Ints are recombinases encoded by the phage genome and have been used to unidirectionally catalyze an ...

Prevalence of SOS-mediated control of integron integrase expression as an adaptive trait of chromosomal and mobile integrons [PDF]

open access: yesMobile DNA, 2011
Background Integrons are found in hundreds of environmental bacterial species, but are mainly known as the agents responsible for the capture and spread of antibiotic-resistance determinants between Gram-negative pathogens.
