Xer recombinase and genome integrity in Helicobacter pylori, a pathogen without topoisomerase IV.

Xer recombinase and genome integrity in Helicobacter pylori, a pathogen without topoisomerase IV.

In the model organism E. coli, recombination mediated by the related XerC and XerD recombinases complexed with the FtsK translocase at specialized dif sites, resolves dimeric chromosomes into free monomers to allow efficient chromosome segregation at cell division. Computational genome analysis of H...
