Abstract excerpt
The Cre recombinase is a member of the integrase family of conservative site-specific recombinases. These proteins share five conserved catalytic residues, one of which is a tyrosine that acts as the nucleophile to attack the scissile phosphodiester bond in the DNA target. Recombination by the Cre recombinase takes place in a supramolecular structure called a synapse that consists of four molecules of Cre bound...
