Crystal structure of the site-specific recombinase γδ resolvase complexed with a 34 by cleavage site
The structure of y8 resolvase complexed with a 34 bp substrate DNA has been determined at 3.0 A resolution. The DNA is sharply bent by 60 ° toward the major groove and away from the resolvase catalytic domains at the recombination crossover point. The C-terminal one third of resolvase, which was disordered in the absence of DNA, forms an arm and a 3-helix DNAbinding domain on the opposite side ...
متن کاملSite-specific recombinase and integrase activities of a conjugative relaxase in recipient cells.
Conjugative relaxases are the proteins that initiate bacterial conjugation by a site-specific cleavage of the transferred DNA strand. In vitro, they show strand-transferase activity on single-stranded DNA, which suggests they may also be responsible for recircularization of the transferred DNA. In this work, we show that TrwC, the relaxase of plasmid R388, is fully functional in the recipient c...
متن کاملIdentification of a Specific Pseudo attP Site for Phage PhiC31 Integrase in Bovine Genome
Background: PhiC31 integrase system provides a new platform in various felid of research, mainly in gene therapy and creation of transgenic animals. This system enables integration of exogenous DNA into preferred locations in mammalian genomes, which results in robust, long-term expression of the integrated transgene. Objectives: Identification of a novel pseudo attP site. Materials and Methods...
متن کاملDNA cleavage is independent of synapsis during Streptomyces phage phiBT1 integrase-mediated site-specific recombination.
Bacteriophage-encoded serine recombinases have great potential in genetic engineering but their catalytic mechanisms have not been adequately studied. Integration of ϕBT1 and ϕC31 via their attachment (att) sites is catalyzed by integrases of the large serine recombinase subtype. Both ϕBT1 and ϕC31 integrases were found to cleave single-substrate att sites without synaptic complex formation, an...
متن کاملThe Carboxy-Terminal αN Helix of the Archaeal XerA Tyrosine Recombinase Is a Molecular Switch to Control Site-Specific Recombination
Tyrosine recombinases are conserved in the three kingdoms of life. Here we present the first crystal structure of a full-length archaeal tyrosine recombinase, XerA from Pyrococcus abyssi, at 3.0 Å resolution. In the absence of DNA substrate XerA crystallizes as a dimer where each monomer displays a tertiary structure similar to that of DNA-bound Tyr-recombinases. Active sites are assembled in t...
