BXB1 att B
The attP site is the phage attachment site for the Bxb1 phage. The site is recognized by Bxb1 integrase. The Bxb1 integrase catalyzes a unidirectional strand exchange between a 53 bp attP site and a 50 bp attB site (Bonnet et al., 2012). The enzyme works by making a synapse between attP and attB, making double strand breaks producing a 2 bp sticky overhang, exchanging the strands, and re-ligating them in the recombinant configuration (attL and attR).
