Abstract excerpt
The promiscuous plasmid pAM beta 1 from Gram-positive bacteria encodes a resolution system which differs from that of Tn3 in that (i) it requires a histone-like protein and an unusual resolvase-DNA interaction to promote recombination and (ii) it mediates in vivo DNA inversion in plasmid substrates. In this in vivo analysis, the pAM beta 1 resolution site is narrowed down to a 99 bp segment, the strand exchange...
