Escherichia coli XerC recombinase is required for chromosomal segregation at cell division.

The New biologist - 1 Aug 1991

Blakely G, Colloms S, May G, Burke M, Sherratt D

Abstract excerpt

XerC is a site-specific recombinase of the bacteriophage lambda integrase family that is encoded by xerC at 3700 kbp on the genetic map of Escherichia coli. The protein was originally identified through its role in converting multimers of plasmid ColE1 to monomers; only monomers are stably inherited. Here we demonstrate that XerC also has a role in the segregation of replicated chromosomes at cell division. xerC...
