Abstract excerpt
"Looping" interactions of distant sites on DNA molecules, mediated by DNA-binding proteins, feature in many regulated genetic processes. We used plasmids containing up to six res recombination sites for Tn3 resolvase to analyse looping interactions (synapsis) in this system. We observed that in plasmids with four or more res sites, certain pairs of sites recombine faster than others. The relative rates of...
