Abstract excerpt
Site-specific recombination by the Cre recombinase takes place at a simple DNA site (loxP), requires no additional proteins and gives topologically simple recombination products. In contrast, cer and psi sites for Xer recombination contain approximately 150 bp of accessory sequences, require accessory proteins PepA, ArgR and ArcA, and the products are specifically linked to form a four-noded catenane. Here, we...
