Abstract excerpt
The four-way (Holliday) DNA junction is the central intermediate in homologous recombination. It is ultimately resolved into two nicked-duplex species by the action of a junction-resolving enzyme. These enzymes are highly selective for the structure of branched DNA, yet as a class these proteins impose significant distortion on their target junctions. Bacteriophage T7 endonuclease I selectively binds and cleaves...
