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.

Caution

The sequence shown here is derived from an EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ whole genome shotgun (WGS) entry which is preliminary data.

Catalytic activity

  • Endonucleolytic cleavage at a junction such as a reciprocal single-stranded crossover between two homologous DNA duplexes (Holliday junction).

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.
