  • Title: Positions of strand exchange in mycobacteriophage L5 integration and characterization of the attB site.
    Author: Peña CE, Stoner JE, Hatfull GF.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1996 Sep; 178(18):5533-6. PubMed ID: 8808947.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacteriophage L5 integrates into the genome of Mycobacterium smegmatis via site-specific recombination between the phage attP site and the bacterial attB site. These two sites have a 43-bp common core sequence within which strand exchange occurs and which overlaps a tRNAGly gene at attB. We show here that a 29-bp segment of DNA is necessary and sufficient for attB function and identify the positions of strand exchange.
