Example sentences for: integrase
How can you use “integrase” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The ~2 kb deletion of vector DNA in the sur2 clone results in a fusion of the ORF of the L5 integrase with that of the M. tuberculosis insert such that the fused ORF encodes a protein that contains only the amino-terminal 73 aa of the 344 aa L5 integrase.
The simplest explanation is that integrase was provided in trans by a second cosmid transiently present in the original transformant, and indeed, M. smegmatis bacteria carrying an integrated copy of the 4-kb plasmid can be readily isolated following electroporation of a mixture of the 4-kb plasmid and a plasmid that expresses integrase (unpublished results).
This ORF could encode a 108 aa protein which contains the 73 amino-terminal amino acids of the 344 aa L5 integrase protein fused to the 34 carboxyl-terminal amino acids of the Rv0366c ORF.
These results suggests that the hybrid protein does not retain integrase activity, that integration by homologous recombination into attP is unlikely, and that provision of integrase activity by an M. smegmatis gene chromosomal does not occur.
The insert also contains 104 bp of the Rv0366c ORF fused to 220 bp of the L5 integrase ORF.
