ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for inserting a copy of a heterologous gene into the chromosome of a host cell such as E. coli through the use of a chromosomal transfer DNA, a circular, non-self-replicating DNA carrying a site-specific recombination site such as lambda att P. The host cell chromosome contains a second site-specific recombination site. When the chromosomal transfer DNA is introduced into the host cell, expression of an integration enzyme such as integrase causes the integration of the chromosomal transfer DNA into the host cell chromosome at the second recombination site.
