Coiled-coil interactions mediate serine integrase directionality
Serine integrases are bacteriophage enzymes that carry out site-specific integration and excision of their viral genomes. The integration reaction is highly directional; recombination between the phage attachment site attP and the host attachment site attB to form the hybrid sites attL and attR is essentially irreversible. In a recent model, extended coiled-coil (CC) domains in the integrase su...
متن کاملRecombination directionality factor gp3 binds ϕC31 integrase via the zinc domain, potentially affecting the trajectory of the coiled-coil motif
To establish a prophage state, the genomic DNA of temperate bacteriophages normally becomes integrated into the genome of their host bacterium by integrase-mediated, site-specific DNA recombination. Serine integrases catalyse a single crossover between an attachment site in the host (attB) and a phage attachment site (attP) on the circularized phage genome to generate the integrated prophage DN...
متن کاملControl of serine integrase recombination directionality by fusion with the directionality factor
Bacteriophage serine integrases are extensively used in biotechnology and synthetic biology for assembly and rearrangement of DNA sequences. Serine integrases promote recombination between two different DNA sites, attP and attB, to form recombinant attL and attR sites. The 'reverse' reaction requires another phage-encoded protein called the recombination directionality factor (RDF) in addition ...
متن کاملTRIM5α SPRY/coiled-coil interactions optimize avid retroviral capsid recognition
Restriction factors are important components of intrinsic cellular defense mechanisms against viral pathogens. TRIM5α is a restriction factor that intercepts the incoming capsid cores of retroviruses such as HIV and provides an effective species-specific barrier to retroviral infection. The TRIM5α SPRY domain directly binds the capsid with only very weak, millimolar-level affinity, and producti...
متن کاملNew ELISA approach based on coiled-coil interactions.
The de novo designed heterodimeric E/K coiled-coil system has been previously demonstrated to be an excellent capture/dimerization system applicable to various needs in both biotechnology and pharmaceutical fields. Those include controlled protein dimerization, capture, purification and Western-blot detection. We here report the development of a new generation of ELISA test based on coiled-coil...
