FtsK-dependent and -independent pathways of Xer site-specific recombination.

The EMBO journal - 15 Oct 1999

Recchia G D, Aroyo M, Wolf D, Blakely G, Sherratt D J

Abstract excerpt

Homologous recombination between circular chromosomes generates dimers that cannot be segregated at cell division. Escherichia coli Xer site-specific recombination converts chromosomal and plasmid dimers to monomers. Two recombinases, XerC and XerD, act at the E. coli chromosomal recombination site, dif, and at related sites in plasmids. We demonstrate that Xer recombination at plasmid dif sites occurs...
