Mutational analysis of highly conserved residues in the phage phiC31 integrase reveals key amino acids necessary for the DNA recombination.

BACKGROUND: Amino acid sequence alignment of phage phiC31 integrase with the serine recombinases family revealed highly conserved regions outside the catalytic domain. Until now, no system mutational or biochemical studies have been carried out to assess the roles of these conserved residues in the...
