Abstract excerpt
The Gin recombination system of phage Mu mediates inversion of the DNA sequence between two sites (gix). In addition to Gin protein and gix sites, recombination requires an enhancer bound by the host factor FIS. We analyzed mutants of Gin that function in the absence of the enhancer and FIS and mediate deletion and intermolecular fusion in addition to inversion. The linking number changes caused by inversion...
