Site-specific integration of foreign DNA into minimal bacterial and human target sequences mediated by a conjugative relaxase.
BACKGROUND: Bacterial conjugation is a mechanism for horizontal DNA transfer between bacteria which requires cell to cell contact, usually mediated by self-transmissible plasmids. A protein known as relaxase is responsible for the processing of DNA during bacterial conjugation. TrwC, the relaxase of...
