The ripX locus of Bacillus subtilis encodes a site-specific recombinase involved in proper chromosome partitioning.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 1999

Sciochetti S A, Piggot P J, Sherratt D J, Blakely G

Abstract excerpt

The Bacillus subtilis ripX gene encodes a protein that has 37 and 44% identity with the XerC and XerD site-specific recombinases of Escherichia coli. XerC and XerD are hypothesized to act in concert at the dif site to resolve dimeric chromosomes formed by recombination during replication. Cultures of ripX mutants contained a subpopulation of unequal-size cells held together in long chains. The chains included...
