Abstract

Mycobacteriophage L5 integrates into the genome of Mycobacterium smegmatis via site-specific recombination between the phage attP site and the bacterial attB site. These two sites have a 43-bp common core sequence within which strand exchange occurs and which overlaps a tRNA(Gly) gene at attB. We show here that a 29-bp segment of DNA is necessary and sufficient for attB function and identify the positions of strand exchange.
