Abstract
HP1 integrase promotes site-specific recombination of the HP1 genome into that of Haemophilus influenzae. The isolated C-terminal domain (residues 165-337) of the protein interacts with the recombination site and contains the four catalytic residues conserved in the integrase family. This domain represents a novel fold consisting principally of well-packed alpha helices, a surface beta sheet, and an ordered 17-residue C-terminal tail. The conserved triad of basic residues and the active-site tyrosine are contributed by a single monomer and occupy fixed positions in a defined active-site cleft. Dimers are formed by mutual interactions of the tail of one monomer with an adjacent monomer; this orients active-site clefts antiparallel to each other.

Figure 1. Schematic Diagrams of the Site-Specific Recombination Reaction(A) Site-specific recombination by bacteriophage integrases requires two DNA substrates containing related sequences at the site of strand exchange. For bacteriophage HP1, the att P site is 418 bp long and, in addition to two IHF binding sites, contains multiple integrase binding sites: three type I sites and three type II sites that exist as either direct or inverted repeating motifs ([18]). The att B site is 18 bp long and contains an inverted repeat sequence. The DNA chromosomes and their attachment sites are not drawn to scale.(B) The steps of strand cleavage and exchange proceed using a topoisomerase mechanism (see Introduction for details).
