TrwC is a bacterial protein involved in conjugative transfer of plasmid R388. It is transferred
together with the DNA strand into the recipient bacterial cell, where it can integrate the …

Bacterial conjugation is a mechanism of horizontal DNA transfer. The relaxase TrwC of the
conjugative plasmid R388 cleaves one strand of the transferred DNA at the oriT gene …

Background Bacterial conjugation is a mechanism for horizontal DNA transfer between
bacteria which requires cell to cell contact, usually mediated by self-transmissible plasmids …

Sequence analysis revealed that the integrase of the Bacteroides conjugative transposon
CTnDOT (IntDOT) might be a member of the tyrosine recombinase family because IntDOT …

Transposon Tn916 is a 16.4-kb broad-host-range conjugative transposon originally detected
in the chromosome of Enterococcus faecalis DS16. Transposition of Tn916 and related …

NBU1 is a Bacteroides mobilizable transposon (MTn) that is integrated within the host
chromosome and requires CTnDOT functions for its excision and transfer into a new host …

ABSTRACT A newly discovered Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), CTnBST,
integrates more site specifically than two other well-studied CTns, the Bacteroides CTn …

The Bacteroides mobilizable transposon NBU1 uses an integrase (IntN1) that is a tyrosine
recombinase for its integration and excision from the host chromosome. Previously we …

Summary NBU1 is a 10.3 kbp Bacteroides mobilizable transposon. A previous study had
identified a 2.7 kbp segment of the excised circular intermediate that was sufficient to …

It has been previously demonstrated that the wild type integrase (Int) protein of coliphage
HK022 can catalyze site-specific recombination in human cells between attachment (att) …
