FtsK‐independent dif recombination in the presence of HinXerC. FtsK‐independent dif recombination in the presence of HinXerC. Strains AB1157 (Xer+ FtsK+), DS8029 (XerC−) and GR51 (XerC− FtsKc−) were transformed with either pLMN132 (HinXerC+) or pSDC107 (EcoXerC+), followed by the dif reporter plasmid pSDC124. S, reporter plasmid substrate; RP, replicative resolved product. The arrow indicates the presence of an Xer‐dependent multimeric species containing three dif sites. Gavin D. Recchia et al.
