Abstract excerpt
We have transferred the prokaryotic gammadelta resolvase system to mammalian cells and present a comparative analysis of recombination by wild-type and two mutant resolvases (E124Q and E102Y/E124Q). Transient co-transfection assays using beta-galactosidase as reporter for recombination reveal that episomal DNA does not contain a significant level of unconstrained negative supercoiling, since only mutant...
