Abstract excerpt
RecQ DNA helicases are multidomain enzymes that play pivotal roles in genome maintenance pathways. While the ATPase and helicase activities of these enzymes can be attributed to the conserved catalytic core domain, the role of the Helicase-and-RNase-D-C-terminal (HRDC) domain in RecQ function has yet to be elucidated. Here, we report the crystal structure of the E. coli RecQ HRDC domain, revealing a globular fold...
