Cryptons: a group of tyrosine-recombinase-encoding DNA transposons from pathogenic fungi

Microbiology, 2003
A new group of transposable elements, which the authors have named cryptons, was detected in several pathogenic fungi, including the basidiomyceteCryptococcus neoformans, and the ascomycetesCoccidioides posadasiiandHistoplasma capsulatum. These elements are unlike any previously described transposons. An archetypal member of the group, cryptonCn1, is 4

Characterization of the tyrosine recombinase MrpA encoded by the Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) plasmid SCP2*

Archives of Microbiology, 2010
MrpA is the multimer resolution protein of the Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) plasmid SCP2*. Previously, MrpA was found to significantly increase the stability of SCP2*-derived plasmids in Streptomyces lividans. The present report gives a functional characterization of MrpA.

Potent antimicrobial small molecules screened as inhibitors of tyrosine recombinases and Holliday junction-resolving enzymes

Molecular Diversity, 2011
Holliday junctions (HJs) are critical intermediates in many recombination-dependent DNA repair pathways. Our lab has previously identified several hexameric peptides that target HJ intermediates formed in DNA recombination reactions. One of the most potent peptides, WRWYCR, is active as a homodimer and has shown bactericidal activity partly because of ...

Involvement of Int _Tn916 Type Tyrosine Recombinase in Nucleoid Structure in Deinococcus radiodurans

Journal of Basic Microbiology
ABSTRACT Tyrosine recombinases (YRs) are widespread among prokaryotes and archaea, catalyzing site‐specific DNA recombination reactions in a variety of cellular processes like chromosome dimer resolution, transfer of mobile genetic elements, and DNA insertion. Deinococcus radiodurans
