Description
This is a Cre-like recombinase of Tyr-family with properties similar to those of Cre, but with a different recognized sequence VloxP, which do not cross-interfering with Cre-LoxP system.
Vika has the invertase activity that invert the the sequence between two anti-parallel Voxs. The original Vika is discovered through genome screening of Vibrio coralliilyticus ATCC BAA-450, which might be a integrase gene taken in by some phage. Yet this coding sequence is redesigned into E. coli-and-yeast coding preference according to original protein sequence.
Notes
This recombinase is both E. coli and S. cerevisiae coding optimized, but neither is perfectly fitted.
