Resolvase, the product of the tnpR gene of the transposable element .gamma..delta., mediates a site-specific recombination [in Escherichia coli] between 2 copies of the element directly repeated on the same replicon. The resolution site, res, at which resolvase acts lies in the intercistronic region between the tnpA and tnpR genes. This site-specific recombination was studied in vitro. In the absence of Mg2+, a resolvase-res complex is formed, which contains DNA molecules that have been cleaved at res. In this complex, resolvase may be covalently attached to the 5'' ends of the cleaved DNA, leaving free 3''-hydroxyl groups. DNA cleavage is stimulated by the interaction of 2 res sites on the same substrate molecule and appears to be an intermediate step in normal res site recombination. The DNA is cut within a region previously identified as containing the crossover point at the palindromic sequence .**GRAPHIC**. to generate 3'' extensions of 2 bases.
