Transposon Resolvases
Medical Definition: | Recombinases that involved in the propagation of DNA TRANSPOSONS. They bind to transposon sequences found at two different sites along the same stretch of DNA and bring them into close proximity. The enzymes then catalyze the double strand cleavage, exchange of double strands and rejoining of DNA helices so that the DNA transposon is formed into a circular PLASMID. |
Guide Notes: | Don't confuse with HOLLIDAY JUNCTION RESOLVASES |
CAS Number: | EC 2.7.7.- |
Previously Indexed: | DNA Nucleotidyltransferases (1992-1997),Nucleotidyltransferases (1981-1995),Transposase (1998-2003) |
