Cre recombinase is a site-specific enzyme that catalyzes recombination between two LoxP

Chapter 0, Problem 5-16

(choose chapter or problem)

Cre recombinase is a site-specific enzyme that catalyzes recombination between two LoxP DNA sites. Cre recombinase pairs two LoxP sites in the same orientation, breaks both duplexes at the same point in each LoxP site, and joins the ends with new partners so that each LoxP site is regenerated, as shown schematically in Figure Q54A. Based on this mechanism, predict the arrangement of sequences that will be generated by Cre-mediated site-specific recombination for each of the two DNAs shown in Figure Q54B
