Genetic characteristics and integration specificity of Salmonella enterica temperate phages
Frontiers 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 ...

The ΦBT1 large serine recombinase catalyzes DNA integration at pseudo-attB sites in the genus Nocardia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Plasmid vectors based on bacteriophage integrases are important tools in molecular microbiology for the introduction of foreign DNA, especially into bacterial species where other systems for genetic manipulation are limited.

Metagenomic analysis of lysogeny in Tampa Bay: implications for prophage gene expression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Phage integrase genes often play a role in the establishment of lysogeny in temperate phage by catalyzing the integration of the phage into one of the host's replicons.

Permanent genetic memory with >1-byte capacity [PDF]
, 2012 Genetic memory enables the recording of information in the DNA of living cells. Memory can record a transient environmental signal or cell state that is then recalled at a later time.

Bracoviruses recruit host integrases for their integration into caterpillar's genome.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Some DNA viruses infect host animals usually by integrating their DNAs into the host genome. However, the mechanisms for integration remain largely unknown.

EMBO reports, 2010 Antiretroviral drugs to prevent integration of the HIV viral genome into chromosomes are undergoing clinical trials, yet they have been developed with an imperfect understanding of their mechanism of action. The recent crystal structure of the major viral protein integrase from a related, little‐known retrovirus, has finally provided insight into how ...

Phage integrases for the construction and manipulation of transgenic mammals
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2003 Phage integrases catalyze site-specific, unidirectional recombination between two short att recognition sites. Recombination results in integration when the att sites are present on two different DNA molecules and deletion or inversion when the att sites

Functional Traits Co-Occurring with Mobile Genetic Elements in the Microbiome of the Atacama Desert [PDF]
, 2019 Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) play an essential role in bacterial adaptation and evolution. These elements are enriched within bacterial communities from extreme environments. However, very little is known if specific genes co-occur with MGEs in extreme
