A Topological Characterization Of Knots and Links Arising From Site-Specific Recombination [PDF]
We develop a topological model of knots and links arising from a single (or multiple processive) round(s) of recombination starting with an unknot, unlink, or (2,m)-torus knot or link substrate.

Recombination: Pieces of the site-specific recombination puzzle [PDF]
Understanding how nucleoprotein complexes interact with specific DNA sequences has come closer with structural and mechanistic studies of the interaction between the recombination enzyme resolvase and DNA.

An att site-based recombination reporter system for genome engineering and synthetic DNA assembly
Background Direct manipulation of the genome is a widespread technique for genetic studies and synthetic biology applications. The tyrosine and serine site-specific recombination systems of bacteriophages HK022 and ΦC31 are widely used for stable ...

Rapid metabolic pathway assembly and modification using serine integrase site-specific recombination [PDF]
Synthetic biology requires effective methods to assemble DNA parts into devices and to modify these devices once made. Here we demonstrate a convenient rapid procedure for DNA fragment assembly using site-specific recombination by ϕC31 integrase.

Development of a novel in vitro assay for the evaluation of integron DNA integrase activity
Integrons play an important role in multidrug resistance. The integron platform codes for integrase (intI) that is required for gene cassette integration through site-specific recombination.

RAG-1 Mutations Associated with B-Cell-Negative SCID Dissociate the Nicking and Transesterification Steps of V(D)J Recombination [PDF]
Some patients with B-cell-negative severe combined immune deficiency (SCID) carry mutations in RAG-1 or RAG-2 that impair V(D)J recombination. Two recessive RAG-1 mutations responsible for B-cell-negative SCID, R621H and E719K, impair V(D)J recombination

Site-specific recombination is a reaction in which a pair of genetically defined sites undergoes reciprocal exchange ("crossing-over") via a recombinase-mediated DNA breakage and joining process. Such reactions have a wide range of biological outcomes, from integration and excision of virus genomes into and out of host chromosomes, to acquisition of ...

Site-specific recombination in plane view [PDF]
Biochemists have worked long and hard on each reaction component and chemical step to reach the point of asking the question as to how protein and DNA molecules are arranged and rearranged in the process of site-specific recombination. The structures of several lambda integrase family members published recently have answered many of the questions about
