not an integrase

Cluster CX phages contain a gene that encodes a protein very similar to the integrases of the temperate phages. However, these phages do not contain any other identifiable integration machinery–immunity repressor, CRO, excise, etc; nor have we been successful in isolating lysogens. Therefore, we've decided that the "integrase" is better off labeled as "recombinase". |
