Abstract excerpt
Hairpin telomere resolvases comprise a family of enzymes that produce the hairpin (hp) telomeres of bacteria and their phages that possess linear chromosomes and plasmids terminated by covalently closed hp telomeres. The hp telomeres overcome the dual issues of end replication and protection faced by all organisms with linear genomes. The hp telomeres are produced from replicated intermediates in which the hp...
