== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FLP_YEAST FLP_YEAST]] Part of the plasmid amplification system, which corrects any decrease in copy number caused by a rare missegregation event. Catalyzes the recombination between the large inverted repetitions of the 2-micron plasmid during plasmid replication. This recombination event changes the direction of one of the two replication forks in the bidirectionally replicating molecule, effectively resulting in multiple rounds of replication from a single initiation event. Binds specifically to the FLP recognition target (FRT) site where it induces DNA to bend. Three types of bend exist. Type I is approximately 60 degrees and results from 1 FLP molecule binding to 1 symmetry element. Type II is >144 degrees and results from FLP molecules binding to symmetry elements a and b. Type III is approximately 65 degrees and results from FLP molecules binding to symmetry elements b and c.<ref>PMID:2040639</ref> <ref>PMID:3316982</ref> <ref>PMID:2254930</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The crystal structure of a Flp recombinase tetramer bound to a Holliday junction intermediate has been determined at 2.65 A resolution. Only one of Flp's two domains, containing the active site, is structurally related to other lambda integrase family site-specific recombinases, such as Cre. The Flp active site differs, however, in that the helix containing the nucleophilic tyrosine is domain swapped, such that it cuts its DNA target in trans. The Flp tetramer displays pseudo four-fold symmetry matching that of the square planar Holliday junction substrate. This tetramer is stabilized by additional novel trans interactions among monomers. The structure illustrates how mechanistic unity is maintained on a chemical level while allowing for substantial variation on the structural level within a family of enzymes.
