Cre recombinase

This part contains the protein coding sequence for the DNA recombinase Cre and is codon optimized for yeast. Cre recombinases recognize two loxP sites (BBa_K1680005) and depending on their orientation cuts out or reverses the DNA sequence between them.


Sequence and Features

This part is submitted in pSB1C3 with RFC25 standard. The part only sequence does therefore not contain a start and stop codon.

General Information for Cre recombinase

(Characterized by iGEM TU Darmstadt-2020)

We conducted some further literature research in order to contribute to further application of the Cre recombinase. The Cre recombinase has a molecular weight of 38 kDA, needs no cofactors and has its optimal reaction temperature at 37°C and above[1]. Most likely a certain threshold level of Cre activity has to be reached, in order to achieve high recombination efficiency[2]. Recombination is achieved by the binding of four recombinase monomers to the palindromic sites of the loxP-sites, the specific recombination target sites of the Cre recombinase, forming a tetrameric enzyme complex. Upon complex formation, recombination sites are brought together and the exchange of DNA flanked by loxP-sites is induced.[3]
