FUNCTIONThe RuvA-RuvB-RuvC complex processes Holliday junction (HJ) DNA during genetic recombination and DNA repair. Endonuclease that resolves HJ intermediates. Cleaves cruciform DNA by making single- stranded nicks across the HJ at symmetrical positions within the homologous arms, yielding a 5'-phosphate and a 3'-hydroxyl group; requires a central core of homology in the junction. The consensus cleavage sequence is 5'-(A/T)TT(C/G)-3'. Cleavage occurs on the 3'-side of the TT dinucleotide at the point of strand exchange. HJ branch migration catalyzed by RuvA-RuvB allows RuvC to scan DNA until it finds its consensus sequence, where it cleaves and resolves the cruciform DNA.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=Endonucleolytic cleavage at a junction such as a reciprocal single-stranded crossover between two homologous DNA duplexes (Holliday junction).; EC=3.1.21.10;
COFACTOR Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Note=Binds 2 Mg(2+) ion per subunit.;
SUBUNITHomodimer which binds Holliday junction (HJ) DNA. The HJ becomes 2-fold symmetrical on binding to RuvC with unstacked arms; it has a different conformation from HJ DNA in complex with RuvA. In the full resolvosome a probable DNA-RuvA(4)-RuvB(12)-RuvC(2) complex forms which resolves the HJ.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the RuvC family.
