Function

HJC_PYRFU A structure-specific endonuclease that resolves Holliday junction (HJ) intermediates during genetic recombination. Cleaves 4-way DNA junctions introducing paired nicks in opposing strands, leaving a 5'-terminal phosphate and a 3'-terminal hydroxyl group that are ligated to produce recombinant products. Cleaves both mobile and immobile junctions. Binds 4-way junction DNA, a synthetic Hj, binding is not competed by dsDNA.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01490]^[1] ^[2] ^[3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

BACKGROUND: Homologous recombination is a crucial mechanism in determining genetic diversity and repairing damaged chromosomes. Holliday junction is the universal DNA intermediate whose interaction with proteins is one of the major events in the recombinational process. Hjc is an archaeal endonuclease, which specifically resolves the junction DNA to produce two separate recombinant DNA duplexes. The atomic structure of Hjc should clarify the mechanisms of the specific recognition with Holliday junction and the catalytic reaction. RESULTS: The crystal structure of Hjc from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus has been determined at 2.0 A resolution. The active Hjc molecule forms a homodimer, where an extensive hydrophobic interface tightly assembles two subunits of a single compact domain. The folding of the Hjc subunit is clearly different from any other Holliday junction resolvases thus far known. Instead, it resembles those of type II restriction endonucleases, including the configurations of the active site residues, which constitute the canonical catalytic motifs. The dimeric Hjc molecule displays an extensive basic surface on one side, which contains many conserved amino acids, including those in the active site. CONCLUSIONS: The architectural similarity of Hjc to restriction endonucleases allowed us to construct a putative model of the complex with Holliday junction. This model accounts for how Hjc recognizes and resolves the junction DNA in a specific manner. Mutational and biochemical analyses highlight the importance of some loops and the amino terminal region in interaction with DNA.
