| FUNCTION | Site-specific tyrosine recombinase, which acts by catalyzing the cutting and rejoining of the recombining DNA molecules. Binds cooperatively to specific DNA consensus sequences that are separated from XerC binding sites by a short central region, forming the heterotetrameric XerC-XerD complex that recombines DNA substrates. The complex is essential to convert dimers of the bacterial chromosome into monomers to permit their segregation at cell division. It also contributes to the segregational stability of plasmids. In the complex XerD specifically exchanges the bottom DNA strands. |
| ACTIVITY REGULATION | FtsK may regulate the catalytic switch between XerC and XerD in the heterotetrameric complex during the two steps of the recombination process. |
| SUBUNIT | Forms a cyclic heterotetrameric complex composed of two molecules of XerC and two molecules of XerD, in which XerC interacts with XerD via its C-terminal region, XerD interacts with XerC via its C-terminal region and so on. |

| Comments | XerD is highly related to XerC and it is therefore difficult to discriminate them correctly. However, most XerD proteins contain a [ST]RQ tripeptide that allow to distinguish them from XerC proteins. Entries that are matched by MF_01808 profile but not by MF_01807 are annotated as XerC. Entries that are matched by MF_01808 and MF_01807 profiles are annotated as XerD. |
