Abstract

The lambda Integrase (Int) carries out site-specific recombination between the two partner DNA sequences, attachment P (attP) and attachment B (attB). In order to study the recombination mechanism, a large quantity of pure integrase is required. Then, we constructed an int gene inserted recombinant plasmid (pNYL3) by using the pQE31 HIS-Tag vector, and produced the fusion protein, 6xHIS-Int from the E. coli TG1 strain carrying the pNYL3 plasmid. The recombinant protein produced was purified by phosphocellulose and Ni$^{++}$-NTA affinity column chromatographies. The result of the in vitro recombination assay using the standard reaction mixture containing 6xHIS-Int and partially purified integration host factor (IHF) showed that the 6xHIS-Int tagged recombination Integrase had the full recombination activity.
