Selective Isolation of Eggerthella lenta from Human Faeces and Characterisation of the Species Prophage Diversity

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Eggerthella lenta is an anaerobic, high GC, Gram-positive bacillus commonly found in the human digestive tract that belongs to the class Coriobacteriia of the phylum Actinobacteria.

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.

Single-Molecule Tethered Particle Motion: Stepwise Analyses of Site-Specific DNA Recombination

open access: yesMicromachines, 2018
Tethered particle motion/microscopy (TPM) is a biophysical tool used to analyze changes in the effective length of a polymer, tethered at one end, under changing conditions.

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.

Tight regulation of the intS gene of the KplE1 prophage: a new paradigm for integrase gene regulation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2010
Temperate phages have the ability to maintain their genome in their host, a process called lysogeny. For most, passive replication of the phage genome relies on integration into the host's chromosome and becoming a prophage.

Dynamic state of plasmid genomic architectures resulting from XerC/D-mediated site-specific recombination in Acinetobacter baumannii Rep_3 superfamily resistance plasmids carrying blaOXA-58- and TnaphA6-resistance modules

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The acquisition of blaOXA genes encoding different carbapenem-hydrolyzing class-D β-lactamases (CHDL) represents a main determinant of carbapenem resistance in the nosocomial pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii.

ALOG domains: provenance of plant homeotic and developmental regulators from the DNA-binding domain of a novel class of DIRS1-type retroposons

open access: yesBiology Direct, 2012
Members of the Arabidopsis LSH1 and Oryza G1 (ALOG) family of proteins have been shown to function as key developmental regulators in land plants. However, their precise mode of action remains unclear.

Mobile Element Integration Reveals a Chromosome Dimer Resolution System in Legionellales

open access: yesmBio, 2022
In bacteria, the mechanisms used to repair DNA lesions during genome replication include homologous recombination between sister chromosomes. This can lead to the formation of chromosome dimers if an odd number of crossover events occurs. The dimers must

Mechanistic Insights Into Filamentous Phage Integration In Vibrio cholerae

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Vibrio cholerae, the etiological agent of acute diarrhoeal disease cholera, harbors large numbers of lysogenic filamentous phages, contribute significantly to the host pathogenesis and provide fitness factors to the pathogen that help the bacterium to ...
