Abstract excerpt
Irc3 is a superfamily II DNA helicase required for the maintenance of mitochondrial DNA stability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we show that recombinant Irc3 is a monomeric protein and that it can form a binary complex with forked DNA. The catalytically active enzyme is a monomer as no positive cooperativity of ATP hydrolysis or DNA unwinding can be detected. Interestingly, we find that Irc3 prefers to...
