Comments [?]

FUNCTIONSite-specific tyrosine recombinase, which acts by catalyzing the cutting and rejoining of the recombining DNA molecules. Essential to convert dimers of the bacterial chromosome into monomers to permit their segregation at cell division.
ACTIVITY REGULATIONFtsK is required for recombination.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the 'phage' integrase family. XerS subfamily.
