Nearest-neighbor amino acids of specificity-determining residues influence the activity of engineered Cre-type recombinases

Abstract The tyrosine-type site-specific DNA recombinase Cre recombines its target site, loxP, with high activity and specificity without cross-recombining the target sites of highly related recombinases. Understanding how Cre achieves this precision is key to be able to rationally engineer site-spe...
