Function

[RUVC_ECOLI] Nuclease that resolves Holliday junction intermediates in genetic recombination. Cleaves the cruciform structure in supercoiled DNA by nicking to strands with the same polarity at sites symmetrically opposed at the junction in the homologous arms and leaves a 5'-terminal phosphate and a 3'-terminal hydroxyl group.^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The crystal structure of the RuvC protein, a Holliday junction resolvase from E. coli, has been determined at 2.5 A resolution. The enzyme forms a dimer of 19 kDa subunits related by a dyad axis. Together with results from extensive mutational analyses, the refined structure reveals that the catalytic center, comprising four acidic residues, lies at the bottom of a cleft that nicely fits a DNA duplex. The structural features of the dimer, with a 30 A spacing between the two catalytic centers, provide a substantially defined image of the Holliday junction architecture. The folding topology in the vicinity of the catalytic site exhibits a striking similarity to that of RNAase H1 from E. coli.
