Function
function
The RuvA-RuvB-RuvC complex processes Holliday junction (HJ) DNA during genetic recombination and DNA repair. Endonuclease that resolves HJ intermediates. Cleaves cruciform DNA by making single-stranded nicks across the HJ at symmetrical positions within the homologous arms, yielding a 5'-phosphate and a 3'-hydroxyl group; requires a central core of homology in the junction. The consensus cleavage sequence is 5'-(A/T)TT(C/G)-3'. Cleavage occurs on the 3'-side of the TT dinucleotide at the point of strand exchange. HJ branch migration catalyzed by RuvA-RuvB allows RuvC to scan DNA until it finds its consensus sequence, where it cleaves and resolves the cruciform DNA.

Subcellular Location
Interaction
Subunit
Homodimer which binds Holliday junction (HJ) DNA. The HJ becomes 2-fold symmetrical on binding to RuvC with unstacked arms; it has a different conformation from HJ DNA in complex with RuvA. In the full resolvosome a probable DNA-RuvA4-RuvB12-RuvC2 complex forms which resolves the HJ.
