site-specific recombinase resolvase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as HIN_SALTY, hin. A DNA fragment of approximately 900 base pairs, adjacent to the fljB (H2) gene, which specifies the synthesis of phase-2 flagellin, can exist in either orientation with respect to fljB. The orientation of the inversion region controls expression of fljB. The hin gene occupies about two-thirds of the inversion region; it is required for the inversion of the fljB controlling region.
