The crossover sites for site-specific C inversion consist of imperfect 12 bp inverted repeats with the dinucleotide TT at the center of symmetry. The phage of P1 Cin recombinase acts not only at these cix sites but also less efficiently at cix-related sequences called quasi-cix sites, cixQ. When cixQ contains a central dinucleotide TT, crossover occurs in vivo a the 2 bp sequence TT in the normal and the quasi-cix sites. If cixQ carries only one T residue, inversion-associated localized conversion can occur at the mismatched position within the 2 bp sequence. The results indicate that Cin generates 2 bp staggered cuts in vivo and that reciprocal strand exchanges occur at these 2 bp crossover sequences.
