Abstract excerpt
The RuvC protein of Escherichia coli resolves Holliday intermediates in recombination and DNA repair by a dual strand incision mechanism targeted to specific DNA sequences located symmetrically at the crossover. Two classes of amino acid substitutions are described that provide new insights into the sequence-specificity of the resolution reaction. The first includes D7N and G14S, which modify or eliminate metal...
