(4) The recombinational enhancer of the Hin inversion system in Salmonella stimulates recombination in vitro 150-fold in the presence of the Escherichia coli host factor Fis.
(5) The Hin protein binds to two cis-acting recombination sites and catalyzes a site-specific DNA inversion reaction that regulates the expression of flagellin genes in Salmonella.
