Comparative analysis of right element mutant lox sites on recombination efficiency in embryonic stem cells

open access: yesBMC Biotechnology, 2010
Background Cre-mediated site-specific integrative recombination in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells is a useful tool for genome engineering, allowing precise and repeated site-specific integration. To promote the integrative reaction, a left element/right

Structural snapshots of Xer recombination reveal activation by synaptic complex remodeling and DNA bending

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Bacterial Xer site-specific recombinases play an essential genome maintenance role by unlinking chromosome multimers, but their mechanism of action has remained structurally uncharacterized. Here, we present two high-resolution structures of Helicobacter

Functional Analysis of the Acinetobacter baumannii XerC and XerD Site-Specific Recombinases: Potential Role in Dissemination of Resistance Genes

open access: yesAntibiotics, 2020
Modules composed of a resistance gene flanked by Xer site-specific recombination sites, the vast majority of which were found in Acinetobacter baumannii, are thought to behave as elements that facilitate horizontal dissemination. The A.

VCre/VloxP and SCre/SloxP: new site-specific recombination systems for genome engineering

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2011
We developed two new site-specific recombination systems named VCre/VloxP and SCre/SloxP for genome engineering. Their recognition sites are different from Cre recognition sites because VCre and SCre recombinases share less protein similarity with Cre ...

Tandem assembly of the epothilone biosynthetic gene cluster by in vitro site-specific recombination

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2011
We describe a site-specific recombination-based tandem assembly (SSRTA) method for reconstruction of biological parts in synthetic biology. The system was catalyzed by Streptomyces phage φBT1 integrase, which belongs to the large serine recombinase ...

Structure and mechanism in site-specific recombination

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Structural Biology, 1999
Three-dimensional structural information on the integrase family of site-specific recombinases has only recently become available, with the crystal structures of catalytic domains, full-length proteins and protein-DNA complexes of this family reported over the past two years.

ORBIT: a New Paradigm for Genetic Engineering of Mycobacterial Chromosomes

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Two efficient recombination systems were combined to produce a versatile method for chromosomal engineering that obviates the need to prepare double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) recombination substrates.

Ectopic Expression of O Antigen in Bordetella pertussis by a Novel Genomic Integration System

open access: yesmSphere, 2018
We describe a novel genome integration system that enables the introduction of DNA fragments as large as 50 kbp into the chromosomes of recipient bacteria.
