Abstract excerpt
The resolving enzyme Hjc, which cleaves Holliday junctions with a high degree of structural specificity, is conserved in all archaea. Like RuvC in Escherichia coli, Hjc functions in the related processes of homologous recombination and double-strand break repair. In bacteria, the RuvAB complex binds Holliday junctions and catalyses ATP-dependent branch migration, but the equivalent proteins in archaea and eukarya...
