Dissecting the roles of XerC and XerD in Xer site-specific recombination

The tyrosine recombinases XerC and XerD function in the monomerisation of circular dimer replicons in many bacteria. The recombining complex contains two synapsed recombination sites and two molecules each of XerC and XerD. Recombination proceeds through two sequential steps of DNA strand exchanges...
