Abstract excerpt
The bacteriophage lambda excisionase (Xis) protein is required for excisive site-specific recombination. Xis is composed of 72 amino acids and binds cooperatively to two DNA sites (X1 and X2) that are arranged as direct repeats. Alternatively, Xis binds cooperatively with the host-encoded factor for inversion stimulation (FIS) protein at the X1 and F sites, respectively. Here we analyzed the effects of missense...
