Description

Bxb1 integrase is a recombinase enzyme from the serine recombinase family. Bxb1 naturally catalyze integration of the phage genome into the GroEL1 gene of M.segmentis, which contains the attB site [2]. Minimal attB, attP,[2],[3] attL and attR [4] have been characterized. Excisionase has been identified, is relatively big (28kDa) for a RDF, and is efficient both in vivo and in vitro [4]. In vitro recombination is very efficient ranging a 100% efficiency in 1hour for integration [2] and for excision [4]. Interestingly the excisionase subunit does not bind DNA and acts stoechiometrically on Bxb1 integrase [4]. The enzyme does not require supercoiled DNA, and can also works with linear products [2]. The enzyme also works in human, rat, and mouse cells [5, 6].
When recombination sites are placed in the same DNA molecule, recombination outcome is inversion of the sequence they surround.
