Activation of Xer-recombination at dif: structural basis of the FtsKγ–XerD interaction

<p style="text-align:justify;"> Bacterial chromosomes are most often circular DNA molecules. This can produce a topological problem; a genetic crossover from homologous recombination results in dimerization of the chromosome. A chromosome dimer is lethal unless resolved. A site-spec...
