Crystal Structure of Enterobacteria phage λ integrase 1z1g

Phage integrase (PIN) mediate recombination between DNA recognition sequences - the phage attP and the bacterial attB. The Tyrosine family PIN uses a catalytic tyrosine to mediate strand cleavage while the Serine family PIN uses a serine residue. The High-Pathogenicity Island (HPI) is a genomic island essential for virulence of the family of Enterobacteria.
