| - | [[Resolvase]] or '''recombinase''' (Rec) is a nuclease which is involved in DNA recombination. | + | [[Resolvase]] or '''recombinase''' (Rec) is a nuclease which is involved in DNA recombination. According to the binding residue, the recombinases are grouped to Tyr- and Ser-recombinase. |
| - | + | *'''Holliday junction resolvase''' (HJR) resolves 4-way DNA intermediates known as Holliday junctions. Recombination of 2 DNA sites occurs when recombinase binds to the 2 strands<ref>PMID:19442245</ref>. <br /> | |
| + | *'''Tyr-recombinases''' include Cre which recombines loxP sites, FLP and lambda integrase (LamInt). <br /> | ||
| + | *'''Ser-recombinases''' (S-rec) include gamma-delta resolvase (GDR), Tn3 resolvase and phiC31 integrase.<br /> | ||
| + | *'''RadA recombinase''' promotes DNA recombination. Detailed analysis of its <scene name='Resolvase/Cv/2'>dimeric structure</scene> suggests mechanisms for junction isomerization and communication between the two active sites <ref>PMID:19143611</ref>. <br /> | ||
| + | *'''Hin-recombinase''' (HRec) is a protein of ''Salmonella''. HRec inverts a 900 base pair DNA segment which contains the promoters of flagellar genes. The inversion changes the these genes' expressions<ref>PMID:15454079</ref>. | ||
