Abstract excerpt
Two recombinases, XerC and XerD, act at the recombination sites psi and cer in plasmids pSC101 and Co1E1 respectively. Recombination at these sites maintains the plasmids in a monomeric state and helps to promote stable plasmid inheritance. The accessory protein PepA acts at both psi and cer to ensure that only intramolecular recombination takes place. An additional accessory protein, ArgR, is required for...
