Abstract excerpt
The Cre recombinase of bacteriophage P1 cleaves its target site, loxP, in a defined order. Recombination is initiated on one pair of strands to form a Holliday intermediate, which is then resolved by cleavage and exchange of the other pair of strands to yield recombinant products. To investigate the influence of the loxP sequence on the directionality of resolution, we constructed synthetic Holliday (chi)...
