Site-specific recombination

Utilization of Site-Specific Recombination in Biopharmaceutical Production

Mammalian expression systems, due to their capacity in post-translational modification, are preferred systems for biopharmaceutical protein production. Several recombinant protein systems have been introduced to the market, most of which are under clinical development. In spite of significant improvements such as cell line engineering, introducing novel expression methods, gene silencing and pr...

Mechanisms of site-specific recombination.

Integration, excision, and inversion of defined DNA segments commonly occur through site-specific recombination, a process of DNA breakage and reunion that requires no DNA synthesis or high-energy cofactor. Virtually all identified site-specific recombinases fall into one of just two families, the tyrosine recombinases and the serine recombinases, named after the amino acid residue that forms a...

Recombination: Pieces of the site-specific recombination puzzle

Understanding how nucleoprotein complexes interact with specific DNA sequences has come closer with structural and mechanistic studies of the interaction between the recombination enzyme resolvase and DNA.
