Inversion/dimerization of plasmids mediated by inverted repeats.

Abstract excerpt

In contrast with earlier studies on the lambda and Escherichia coli genomes, recombination between inverted repeats on plasmids is highly efficient and shown to be recA-independent. In addition, the recombination product is exclusively a head-to-head inverted dimer. Here, we show that this recombination/rearrangement event can occur on different plasmid replicons and is not specific to the particular sequence...
