Switching catalytic activity in the XerCD site-specific recombination machine.
The tyrosine family site-specific recombinases, XerCD, function in the conversion of circular dimer replicons to monomers. In the recombining complex that contains two synapsed recombination sites and two molecules each of XerC and XerD, the DNA strand-exchange reactions are separated in time and sp...
