Notes

The dif site is a 28bp sequence located within a 30kb region of the terminus known as the "dif activity zone" (DAZ) and is involved in Chromosome Dimer Resolution involving XerCD[2][3][4]. dif must be located in the terminus region for proper function and may be functionally replaced by loxP if the Cre recombinase is supplied in trans[5]. XerC binds the dif left half site while XerD binds the dif right half site- these sites are not interchangeable[6].

Notes

  • One way to test the resolution competency at the dif activity zone (DAZ) or individual dif sites is to perform plasmid dimer resolution assays[16], or dif-Km-dif excision assays[17]. Steiner and Kuempel (1998) used a density label assay to analyze dif recombination[18][19].
