Abstract excerpt

We have determined the structure of the enzyme RecU from Bacillus subtilis, that is the general Holliday junction resolving enzyme in Gram-positive bacteria. The enzyme fold reveals a striking similarity to a class of resolvase enzymes found in archaeal sources and members of the type II restriction endonuclease family to which they are related. The structure confirms the presence of active sites formed around...
