Illegitimate recombination, also known as non-homologous recombination, is much less well understood mechanistically than homologous recombination. It either involves recombination based on little sequence homology between recombining strands, or no sequence homology at all. Furthermore, rather than replacing alleles, illegitimate recombination results... in insertion of new DNA... Illegitimate recombination... is both very rare and results... in gains in the amount of DNA carried by an organism. 3, record 1, English, - heterologous%20recombination

Recombination between specific pairs of sequences. It is responsible for the integration of phage genomes into the bacterial chromosome. The recombination event involves a specific sequence of the phage DNA and a specific sequence of the bacterial DNA. Within these sequences, there is only a short stretch of homology, necessary for the recombination event, but not sufficient for it. The enzymes involved in this event cannot recombine other pairs of(homologous or nonhomologous) sequences, but act only on the particular pair of phage and bacterial sequences. 2, record 5, English, - site%2Dspecific%20recombination

Zinc metalloendoproteases are widely involved in the intracellular processing and degradation of proteins. Vallee and Auld showed that these enzymes isolated from bacteria of Bacillus species share the consensus amino acid sequence, HEXXH, in their active sites and that the two histidine residues in the sequence ligate the catalytic zinc ion(1, 2). According to the sequence homology, Jiang and Bond grouped known 40 amino acid sequences of zinc endoproteases into five distinct subfamilies(astacin, serratia, matrixin, snake venom, and thermolysin). 1, record 8, English, - matrixin

Optimal application of protein engineering technology will require understanding how the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain specifies its spatial conformation. It is now clear that polypeptide chain folding and subunit assembly proceeds through sequential pathways involving defined intermediates. The critical amino acid instructions directing these pathways appear to be dispersed through the sequence... Very similar patterns of chain folding and domain structure can arise from different amino acid sequences that show little or no homology.

Fluorescence-based amplified fragment length polymorphism(fbAFLP) is a novel assay based on the fluorescent analysis of an amplified subset of restriction fragments. The fbAFLP assay involves the selective PCR [polymerase chain reaction] amplification of restriction fragments from a total digest of genomic DNA. The ligation of adapters with primer-specific sites coupled with primers containing selective nucleotides allowed the full potential of PCR to be realized while maintaining the advantages of restriction endonuclease analysis. Fluorescence-based fragment analysis with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis provides the accurate band sizing required for homology assessment. 5, record 15, English, - fluorescent%20amplified%20fragment%20length%20polymorphism

La parenté entre les ADN de deux plasmides peut être mesurée par hybridation; il peut s'agir d'hybridation entre plasmides entiers ou entre fragments d'ADN plasmidique après coupure par une endonucléase de restriction. L'ADN non radioactif du premier plasmide est fixé soit entier, soit après fragmentation et séparation par électrophorèse, sur un filtre, et l'hybridation se fait avec l'ADN radioactif préparé avec l'autre plasmide. La mesure de la radioactivité fixée sur le filtre se fait soit par comptage de la radioactivité dans le cas des plasmides entiers, soit par autoradiographie pour les ADN fragmentés.

Human endozepine, an 86 amino acid polypeptide, was originally isolated from human brain tissue as a putative ligand of the benzodiazepine receptor. Complete amino acid sequencing of the human and bovine proteins revealed significant homology with the partial sequence of diazepam binding inhibitor(DBI), a protein from rat brain. Both endozepine and DBI have been shown to elicit behavioral effects, suggesting that they function as pharmacologically-active ligands of the GABA. 2, record 22, English, - endozepine
