The Min DNA inversion enzyme of plasmid p15B of Escherichia coli 15T−: a new member of the Din family of site‐specific recombinases

Plasmid p15B is a bacteriophage P1‐related resident of Escherichia coli 15T−. Both genomes contain a segment in which DNA inversion occurs, although this part of their genomes is not identical. This DNA segment of p15B was cloned in a multicopy vector plasmid. Like its parent, the resulting plasmid, pAW800, undergoes complex multiple DNA inversions: this DNA inversion system is therefore called Min. The min gene, which codes for the p15B Min DNA invertase, can complement the P1 cin recombinase gene. The Min inversion system is thus a new member of the Din family of site‐specific recombinases to which Cin belongs. The DNA sequence of the min gene revealed that Min is most closely related to the Pin recombinase of the e14 defective viral element on the E. coli K12 chromosome. Like other members of the Din family, the min gene contains a recombinational enhancer element which stimulates site‐specific DNA inversion 300‐fold.
