Flpe-Holliday Junction Complex
OverviewOverview
The Flp recombinase, a member of the lambda integrase or tyrosine-based, family of site-specific recombinases, is an interesting example of an, enzyme whose catalytic activity is regulated by protein-protein contacts., It exhibits half-of-the-sites activity throughout its catalytic cycle. Flp, is unique among these recombinases, in that it assembles each active site, in trans through the interaction of two protein monomers within the, catalytic tetramer, with isomerization of interacting pairs being, essential to complete a full reaction. We report here the structure of a, DNA-bound tetramer of Flpe, a variant of Flp that is more active at 37, degrees C than the wild-type recombinase. This new structure includes the, first observation of a tyrosine recombinase with an invading 5'-OH ... [(full description)]
