Homolog recombination
Homolog recombination
Cause the exchange DNA
intermolecule that has quite big
homology of nucleotide sequence
Specific character : the process can
occur in every point in homology
area
Recombination occur through the
DNA strand direct breakage which is
followed by the rejoining process

Homolog recombination
Started when 2 homolog chromosom
is located near each other so that
the homolog nucleotide sequence
can be exchanged.
Synapsis = contact between the 2
chromosom pairs in Prophase
Model Holliday

Finishing recombination
(resolution of the Holliday
junction)
Heteroduplex DNA
If the 2 DNA molecules are not identicalbut, e.g., carry a few small sequence
differences, as is true often between 2
alleles of the same gene-branch
gene branch migration
through these regions of sequence
difference generates DNA duplexes
carrying 1 or a few sequence mismatches
(B and b alleles in Fig 10-1d & inset)

Cre is a tyrosine recombinase
Cre is an phage P1-encoded
protein, functioning to
circularize the linear phage
genome during infection
The recombination sites of Cre is
lox sites. Cre-lox is sufficient for
recombination
Read Box11-1 for Cre application

The outcome of bacteriophage
infection of a host bacterium
Establishment of the lysogenic state:
requires the integration of phage
DNA into host chromosome
lytic growth is the growth stage of
multiplication of the independent
phage DNA that requires the excision
of the integrated phage DNA from
the host genome.

moleculesintomonomers
The chromosomes of most bacteria,
plasmids and some viral genomes
are circular.
During the process of homologous
recombination, these circular DNA
sometimes form dimers and even
multimeric forms, which can be can
be converted back into monomer by
site specific recombination.
Site-specific recombinases also called
resolvases catalyze such a process.
