Filamentous phage integration requires the host recombinases XerC and XerD.

Nature - 6 Jun 2002

Huber Kathryn E, Waldor Matthew K

Abstract excerpt

Many bacteriophages and animal viruses integrate their genomes into the chromosomal DNA of their hosts as a method of promoting vertical transmission. Phages that integrate in a site-specific fashion encode an integrase enzyme that catalyses recombination between the phage and host genomes. CTX phi is a filamentous bacteriophage that contains the genes encoding cholera toxin, the principal virulence factor of the...
