Function
function
A helicase/nuclease that prepares dsDNA breaks (DSB) for recombinational DNA repair. Binds to DSBs and unwinds DNA via a highly rapid and processive ATP-dependent bidirectional helicase activity. Unwinds dsDNA until it encounters a Chi (crossover hotspot instigator) sequence from the 3' direction. Cuts ssDNA a few nucleotides 3' to the Chi site. The properties and activities of the enzyme are changed at Chi. The Chi-altered holoenzyme produces a long 3'-ssDNA overhang and facilitates RecA-binding to the ssDNA for homologous DNA recombination and repair. Holoenzyme degrades any linearized DNA that is unable to undergo homologous recombination. In the holoenzyme this subunit contributes ATPase, 3'-5' helicase, exonuclease activity and loads RecA onto ssDNA.
Miscellaneous
In the RecBCD complex, RecB has a slow 3'-5' helicase, an exonuclease activity and loads RecA onto ssDNA, RecD has a fast 5'-3' helicase activity, while RecC stimulates the ATPase and processivity of the RecB helicase and contributes to recognition of the Chi site.
Catalytic activity
- ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate + H+
Cofactor
Note: Binds 1 Mg2+ ion per subunit.
