Specialized recombination reactions involving DNA inversions have evolved as a mechanism to generate genetic diversity within a population. They often function to preadapt a portion of a population to a sudden change in the environment or to allow a portion of a population to take advantage of a new situation. Site-specific DNA inversion reactions are characterized by recombination events which occur at defined sites and are usually catalyzed by an enzyme dedicated to that particular reaction. The low rate of inversion is believed to be primarily limited by the extremely low amounts of the Hin protein present in cells since overexpressing Hin coordinately increases inversion rates. In vivo studies have demonstrated that integration host factor (IHF) and leucine-responsive regulatory protein (LRP) participate in the fim inversion reaction. These two DNA bending proteins are believed to function together to help promote synapsis between IRL and IRR. FimB- and FimE-promoted inversion rates are also decreased in lrp mutants. LRP is a moderately abundant DNA binding and bending protein that functions as a global regulator of various genes involved in amino acid metabolism and fimbria biosynthesis. Recombination catalyzed by the Hin and Gin DNA invertases has been intensively studied in vitro, and the basic outline of the reaction is well understood. DNA inversion occurs in a simple buffered salt solution without the need for a high-energy cofactor other than the requirement for a negatively supercoiled substrate.
