Serine recombinase (SR) family, Partitioning (par)-Resolvase subfamily, catalytic domain; Serine recombinases catalyze site-specific recombination of DNA molecules by a concerted, four-strand cleavage and rejoining mechanism which involves a transient phosphoserine linkage between DNA and the enzyme. They are functionally versatile and include resolvases, invertases, integrases, and transposases. This subgroup is composed of proteins similar to the E. coli resolvase found in the par region of the RP4 plasmid, which encodes a highly efficient partitioning system. This protein is part of a complex stabilization system involved in the resolution of plasmid dimers during cell division. Similar to Tn3 and other resolvases, members of this family may contain a C-terminal DNA binding domain.
