Abstract excerpt
Endonuclease VII is a Holliday-structure-resolving enzyme of bacteriophage T4. The active protein is a homodimer with 157 amino acids/monomer. An amber mutation (amE727 in codon 151) inactivates the nuclease completely, indicating the importance of the seven C-terminal amino acids for nucleolytic activity. The influence of these amino acids on cruciform-DNA binding and cleavage was investigated through functional...
