HAMAP entry
Member databaseHAMAP
HAMAP typefamily
Short nameRecomb_XerS

Description
Imported from IPR023670

This entry represents the site-specific tyrosine recombinase XerS, which is part of the broader 'phage' integrase family. It acts by catalyzing the cutting and rejoining of recombining DNA molecules. It is essential for converting dimers of the bacterial chromosome into monomers to permit their segregation at cell division
