Description
The Bxb1 integrase is a DNA recombinase, more precisely a member of serine recombinase family. Bxb1 could be divided to two parts, gp35 and gp47. The gp35 part could recognize specific sequences, called attB and attP, and then integrate, invert, or excise dsDNA depending on the orientation of recognition sequences. When it inverts DNA sequence, the attB and attP sequences are changed into attL and attR, as other DNA recombinases do. Another part called Bxb1 gp47 binds to integrase-DNA complex and this complex flips inverts DNA back into original sequence by regenerating attB and attP sequences. So the efficiency of inversion mediated by Bxb1 is half and half.
Notes
None.
