Abstract excerpt
The E. coli RuvC protein resolves Holliday junctions during genetic recombination and postreplication repair. Using recombination intermediates made by RecA protein, we have identified specific "hotspots" for RuvC resolution. Characterization of these sites reveals a common tetranucleotide sequence, with the consensus 5'-A/TTT decreases G/C-3'. The correct orientation of the resolution site is required for...
