Salmonella plasmid pFPTB1 includes a Tn3-like transposon and a Xer recombination site, fpr, which mediates site-specific recombination at efficiencies lower than those required for stabilizing a plasmid by dimer resolution. Mutagenesis and comparative studies with mwr, a site closely related to fpr, indicate that there is an interdependence of the sequences in the XerC binding region and the central region in Xer site-specific recombination sites.
沙门氏菌质粒 pFPTB1 包含一个类似于 Tn3 的转座子和 Xer 重组位点 fpr,该位点介导的位点特异性重组效率低于通过二聚体解析稳定质粒所需的效率。与 mwr(与 fpr 密切相关的位点)的诱变和比较研究表明,Xer 位点特异性重组位点中 XerC 结合区域和中心区域的序列存在相互依赖性。
