Descriptor transposasas
Entry term(s) transposasa
Scope note: Enzimas que recombinan segmentos de ADN mediante un proceso que implica la formación de una sinapsis entre dos hélices de ADN, la división de cadenas siencillas de cada hélice de ADN y el enlace de una cadena de ADN de una hélice de ADN a otra. La estructura resultante de ADN se conoce como unión Holliday, que puede resolverse por REPLICACION DEL ADN o por RESOLVASAS DE UNION HOLLIDAY.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019895
Scope note: Enzymes that recombine DNA segments by a process which involves the formation of a synapse between two DNA helices, the cleavage of single strands from each DNA helix and the ligation of a DNA strand from one DNA helix to the other. The resulting DNA structure is called a Holliday junction which can be resolved by DNA REPLICATION or by HOLLIDAY JUNCTION RESOLVASES.
