A new group of tyrosine recombinase-encoding retrotransposons. [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2004
A wide variety of novel tyrosine recombinase (YR)-encoding retrotransposons were identified using data emerging from the various eukaryotic genome sequencing projects. Although many of these elements are clearly members of the previously described DIRS group of YR retrotransposons, a substantial number, including elements from a variety of fungi and ...

Tyrosine Recombinase Retrotransposons and Transposons.

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2015
ABSTRACT Retrotransposons carrying tyrosine recombinases (YR) are widespread in eukaryotes. The first described tyrosine recombinase mobile element, DIRS1, is a retroelement from the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum . The YR elements are bordered by terminal repeats related to their replication via free

Cre Recombinase and Other Tyrosine Recombinases

Chemical Reviews, 2016
Tyrosine-type site-specific recombinases (T-SSRs) have opened new avenues for the predictable modification of genomes as they enable precise genome editing in heterologous hosts. These enzymes are ubiquitous in eubacteria, prevalent in archaea and temperate phages, present in certain yeast strains, but barely found in higher eukaryotes.

Dual Recombinase-Mediated Cassette Exchange by Tyrosine Site-Specific Recombinases

Methods in Molecular Biology, 2017
Recombinase-mediated cassette exchange, or RMCE, is a genome engineering tool that can be used to swap DNA fragments of interest between two DNA molecules. In a variation of RMCE, called dual RMCE, the exchange of DNA fragments is mediated by two recombinases in contrast to one recombinase in the classic RMCE reaction.

The VIPER elements of trypanosomes constitute a novel group of tyrosine recombinase-enconding retrotransposons

Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology, 2006
VIPER was initially characterized as a 2326bp LTR-like retroelement associated to SIRE, a short interspersed repetitive element specific of Trypanosoma cruzi. It carried a single ORF that coded for a putative reverse transcriptase-RNAse H protein, suggesting that it could be a truncated copy of a longer retroelement. Herein we report the identification

Tyrosine phosphorylation stimulates activity of human RAD51 recombinase through altered nucleoprotein filament dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016
Significance Homologous recombination provides the most accurate means to repair genotoxic DNA lesions. It depends on the assembly of the RAD51 DNA strand exchange protein into a dynamic nucleoprotein filament. The c-Abl tyrosine kinase and its oncogenic counterpart BCR-ABL control RAD51 by phosphorylating tyrosine residues 54 and 315.

DIRS-1 and the other tyrosine recombinase retrotransposons

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2005
DIRS-1 is a retroelement from the slime mold <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i>. Until recently only two related retrotransposons had been described: PAT from the nematode <i>Panagrellus redivivus</i> and <i>Prt1</i> from the zygomycete fungus <i>Phycomyces blakesleeanus</i>.

Strand Selection by the Tyrosine Recombinases

2005
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on four tyrosine recombinases for which there is a wealth of biochemical and structural data. This chapter reviews the biochemical and structural findings for each of these enzymes. This chapter also examines the factors that influence strand selection and consider the possible function of strand selection in ...
