絲胺酸 重組酶催化位點特異性重組的機制,四股DNA均被切割
位點特異性重組 (Site-specific recombination)是生物基因重組 的一種機制,即兩段具有一定同源序列 的DNA 發生重組[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] ,此過程中兩段DNA序列會發先發生聯會 ,位點特異性重組酶 (SSR)會與DNA結合,切割兩段DNA後促進酯交換反應 ,使一段DNA與另一段DNA連接-而形成霍利迪交叉 ,再進行第二次切割而得到重組過的兩段DNA[ 4] [ 5] 。重組酶可分為酪胺酸 重組酶(如Cre重組酶 與FLP重組酶 )與絲胺酸 重組酶(如γδ解離酶 與Tn3解離酶 )兩大類,兩者結構與詳細反應機理均不同[ 6] [ 7] ,前者僅分別切割兩段DNA的一股,後者則將兩段共4股DNA都切割[ 8] 。
位點特異性重組的特異性很高[ 9] ,在DNA複製 與可動遺傳因子 插入等過程中會發生[ 10] ,也被用作基因工程 的一項技術[ 11] 。此重組依重複片段的排列狀況可能有整合、切除與倒位三種結果,兩段不同DNA間的位點特異性重組可造成一段DNA被整合進另一段DNA中,同DNA中兩段同向序列的位點特異性重組可造成中間的序列被移除,而兩段反向序列的位點特異性重組則可造成中間序列倒位[ 12] 。
