== Function ==
[[Resolvase]] or '''recombinase''' (Rec) is a nuclease which is involved in DNA recombination. According to the binding residue, the recombinases are grouped to Tyr- and Ser-recombinase.
 
*'''Holliday junction resolvase''' (HJR) resolves 4-way DNA intermediates known as Holliday junctions. Recombination of 2 DNA sites occurs when recombinase binds to the 2 strands<ref>PMID:19442245</ref>. <br />
*'''Tyr-recombinases''' include '''Cre''' which recombines loxP sites, FLP and lambda integrase (LamInt). <br />
*'''Ser-recombinases''' (S-rec) include gamma-delta resolvase  (GDR), Tn3 resolvase and phiC31 integrase.<br />
*'''RadA recombinase''' promotes DNA recombination. Detailed analysis of its <scene name='Resolvase/Cv/2'>dimeric structure</scene> suggests mechanisms for junction isomerization and communication between the two active sites <ref>PMID:19143611</ref>.  <br />
*'''RadB recombinase''' is a paralogue of RadA assisting in RadA-mediated strand exchange <ref>PMID:28501701</ref>.  <br />
*'''Hin-recombinase''' (HRec) is a protein of ''Salmonella''.  HRec inverts a 900 base pair DNA segment which contains the promoters of flagellar genes.  The inversion changes the these genes' expressions<ref>PMID:15454079</ref>.
*'''Tre recombinase''' recognizes a target sequence of the HIV virus resulting in excision and eradication of the provirus from infected human cells <ref>PMID:19066582</ref>. <br />
