The Tn3 resolvase requires that the two recombination (res) sites be aligned as direct repeats on the same molecule for efficient recombination to occur. To test whether resolvase must contact the DNA betweenressites as predicted by tracking models, we have determined the sensitivity of recombination to protein diffusion blockades. Recombination between tworessites is unaffected either bylacrepressor or bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase being bound between them. Yet recombination is inhibited bylacrepressor if theressite is bounded by alacoperator on both sides. We demonstrate thatlacrepressor will bind to more than one DNA site under the conditions used to assay recombination. This result suggests thatlacrepressor can inhibit resolvase by forming a DNA loop that isolates aressite topologically.These results do not support a tracking model for resolvase but suggest that the structure and topology of the DNA substrate is important in the formation of a synapse betweenressites.
