Multiple interfaces between a serine recombinase and an enhancer control site-specific DNA inversion. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Serine recombinases are often tightly controlled by elaborate, topologically-defined, nucleoprotein complexes. Hin is a member of the DNA invertase subclass of serine recombinases that are regulated by a remote recombinational enhancer element containing

The telomere resolvase, TelA, utilizes an underwound pre-cleavage intermediate to promote hairpin telomere formation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
The telomere resolvase, TelA, forms the hairpin telomeres of the linear chromosome of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in a process referred to as telomere resolution.

Mechanistic modelling of a recombinase-based two-input temporal logic gate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Site-specific recombinases (SSRs) mediate efficient manipulation of DNA sequences in vitro and in vivo. In particular, serine integrases have been identified as highly effective tools for facilitating DNA inversion, enabling the design of genetic ...

Study of VIPER and TATE in kinetoplastids and the evolution of tyrosine recombinase retrotransposons [PDF]

open access: yesMobile DNA, 2019
Kinetoplastids are a flagellated group of protists, including some parasites, such as Trypanosoma and Leishmania species, that can cause diseases in humans and other animals. The genomes of these species enclose a fraction of retrotransposons including VIPER and TATE, two poorly studied transposable elements that encode a tyrosine recombinase (YR) and ...

The unconventional Xer recombination machinery of Streptococci/Lactococci.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2007
Homologous recombination between circular sister chromosomes during DNA replication in bacteria can generate chromosome dimers that must be resolved into monomers prior to cell division.

Dual recombinase action in the normal and neoplastic mammary gland epithelium

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
We developed a transgenic mouse line that expresses the codon-optimized Flp recombinase under the control of the MMTV promoter in luminal epithelial cells of the mammary gland.

Discovery and characterization of novel Cre-type tyrosine site-specific recombinases for advanced genome engineering

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2023
Abstract Tyrosine-type site-specific recombinases (Y-SSRs) are versatile tools for genome engineering due to their ability to mediate excision, integration, inversion and exchange of genomic DNA with single nucleotide precision. The ever-increasing need for sophisticated genome engineering is driving efforts to identify novel SSR systems

Fast growth conditions uncouple the final stages of chromosome segregation and cell division in Escherichia coli. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2017
Homologous recombination between the circular chromosomes of bacteria can generate chromosome dimers. They are resolved by a recombination event at a specific site in the replication terminus of chromosomes, dif, by dedicated tyrosine recombinases.

Integrative and Conjugative Elements (ICEs): What They Do and How They Work [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Horizontal gene transfer plays a major role in microbial evolution, allowing microbes to acquire new genes and phenotypes. Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs, a.k.a.
