The two proteins that mediate this process in S. cerevisiae are Dmc1 and Rad51.
The two proteins that mediate this process in S. cerevisiae are Dmc1 and Rad51. The site of occurrenceof this process is regulated by the zinc finger protein PRDM9. In bacteria, this process often occurs at chisites. This process occurs when Xer is activated by FtSK and acts at dif sites, converting dimers tomonomers. One form of this process, which was first discovered with the P1 bacteriophage by Sternbergand Hamilton, uses loxP sites and the Cre enzyme. Strains of bacteria that have the fertility factorintegrated into their chromosome exhibit a high frequency of this process. A cross-shaped structure that canbe formed during this process is the Holliday junction. The process of synapsis, in which two homologouschromosomes are paired, leads to this process in meiosis. For 10 points, identify this process in which DNAis broken and rejoined to produce new genes.
