Abstract

The action of site-specific recombinases can be analyzed using the tangle method, where the reaction is characterized topologically by solving the corresponding tangle equations. We here analyze unlinking of DNA catenanes by the site-specific recombination system Xer/FtsK (Grainge et al., 2007). In particular we show that the key tangle involved in this reaction is rational. Therefore all solutions to the tangle equations can be computed using tangle calculus.
