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