Role of nucleotide sequences of loxP spacer region in Cre-mediated recombination.
Gene - 17 Aug 1998
Lee G, Saito I
Abstract excerpt
The Cre recombinase mediates precise site-specific recombination between a pair of loxP sequences through an intermediate containing Holiday junction. The recombination junction in the loxP sequence is located within the asymmetric 8-nucleotide spacer region. To examine the role of each nucleotide sequence of the spacer region in the recombination process, we synthesized a complete set of 24 loxP spacer mutants...
