Characterization of the integration and modular excision of the integrative conjugative element PAISt in Streptomyces turgidiscabies Car8. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 PAISt is a large genomic island located in the chromosome of the plant pathogen Streptomyces turgidiscabies Car8. The island carries clustered virulence genes, transfers to other Streptomyces species, and integrates by site-specific recombination at the ...

Protein tyrosine phosphatase TbPTP1:A molecular switch controlling life cycle differentiation in trypanosomes [PDF]
, 2006 Differentiation in African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei) entails passage between a mammalian host, where parasites exist as a proliferative slender form or a G0-arrested stumpy form, and the tsetse fly.

Scientific Reports, 2020 The tyrosine-type site-specific DNA recombinase Cre recombines its target site, loxP, with high activity and specificity without cross-recombining the target sites of highly related recombinases. Understanding how Cre achieves this precision is key to be

Dissecting the roles of XerC and XerD in Xer site-specific recombination [PDF]
, 2002 The tyrosine recombinases XerC and XerD function in the monomerisation of circular dimer replicons in many bacteria. The recombining complex contains two synapsed recombination sites and two molecules each of XerC and XerD. Recombination proceeds through

The IntI-Like Tyrosine Recombinase ofShewanella oneidensisIs Active as an Integron Integrase [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2002 ABSTRACTWe have found an integron-like integrase gene and anattIsite inShewanella oneidensisas part of a small chromosomal integron. We have cloned this gene and tested the ability of the integrase to excise cassettes from various integrons. Most cassettes flanked by twoattCsites are readily excised, while cassettes in the “first” position, with ...

Initial characterization of the Pf-Int recombinase from the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundGenetic variation is an essential means of evolution and adaptation in many organisms in response to environmental change. Certain DNA alterations can be carried out by site-specific recombinases (SSRs) that fall into two families: the serine ...

Light-regulated allosteric switch enables temporal and subcellular control of enzyme activity
eLife, 2020 Engineered allosteric regulation of protein activity provides significant advantages for the development of robust and broadly applicable tools. However, the application of allosteric switches in optogenetics has been scarce and suffers from critical ...
