Int protein has two classes of binding sites within the phage aft site: the arm-type recognition sequences are found in three specific sites that are distant from the region of strand exchange; the junction-type recognition sequences occur as inverted pairs around the crossover region in both attf and attB. During recombination between attf and attB each of the four DNA strands is cut at a homologous position within each of the junction-type Int binding sites. In all four junction-type sites Int protein interacts primarily with the same face of the DNA helix, as determined by those purine nitrogens that are protected against methylation by dimethylsulfate. Efficient secondary attachment sites for X contain sequences with partial homology to the junctiontype binding sites. In addition, the sequence between, but not part of, the two junction-type sites (the overlap region) is strongly conserved in secondary aft sites. Thus, in the vicinity of strand exchange, attP and a recombining partner, such as attB, are very similar; each comprises two junctiontype Int recognition sites and an overlap (crossover) region.
