The Fis protein regulates site‐specific DNA inversion catalyzed by a family of DNA
invertases when bound to a cis‐acting recombinational enhancer. As is often found for …

The Escherichia coli (Es. coli) protein Fis (factor for inversion stimulation) stimulates site-
specific DNA inversion of the G segment in phage Mu by binding to a recombinational …

Inversional switching systems in procaryotes are composed of an invertible DNA segment
and a site-specific recombinase gene adjacent to or contained in the segment. Four related …

FimB and FimE are site-specific recombinases, part of the λ integrase family, and invert a
314 bp DNA switch that controls the expression of type 1 fimbriae in Escherichia coli. FimB …

The 98-amino acid Fis protein from Escherichia coli functions in a variety of reactions,
including promotion of Hin-mediated site-specific DNA inversion when bound to an …

Higher‐order nucleoprotein complexes are associated with many biological processes. In
bacteria the formation of these macromolecular structures for DNA recombination …

The integration host factor (IHF) of Escherichia coli is a small, basic protein that is required
for lambda site‐specific recombination and a variety of cellular processes. It is composed of …

Site-specific recombination reactions involve the joining or rearrangement of discrete DNA
segments in a highly precise manner. A site-specific DNA inversion regulates the expression …

The Escherichia coliintegration host factor (IHF) protein is required for site-specific
recombination of bacteriophage λ DNA. Previously, we had shown that alternative modules …
