Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli, the RuvA and RuvB proteins interact at Holliday junctions to promote branch migration leading to the formation of heteroduplex DNA. RuvA provides junction-binding specificity and RuvB drives ATP-dependent branch migration. Since RuvB contains sequence motifs characteristic of a DNA helicase and RuvAB exhibit helicase activity in vitro, we have analysed the role of DNA unwinding in relation to...
