FUNCTIONA helicase/nuclease that prepares dsDNA breaks (DSB) for recombinational DNA repair. Binds to DSBs and unwinds DNA via a highly rapid and processive ATP-dependent bidirectional helicase activity. Unwinds dsDNA until it encounters a Chi (crossover hotspot instigator) sequence from the 3' direction. Cuts ssDNA a few nucleotides 3' to the Chi site. The properties and activities of the enzyme are changed at Chi. The Chi-altered holoenzyme produces a long 3'-ssDNA overhang and facilitates RecA-binding to the ssDNA for homologous DNA recombination and repair. Holoenzyme degrades any linearized DNA that is unable to undergo homologous recombination. In the holoenzyme this subunit has ssDNA-dependent ATPase and 5'-3' helicase activity. When added to pre- assembled RecBC greatly stimulates nuclease activity and augments holoenzyme processivity. Negatively regulates the RecA-loading ability of RecBCD.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=Couples ATP hydrolysis with the unwinding of duplex DNA at the replication fork by translocating in the 5'-3' direction. This creates two antiparallel DNA single strands (ssDNA). The leading ssDNA polymer is the template for DNA polymerase III holoenzyme which synthesizes a continuous strand.; EC=5.6.2.3;
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=ATP + H2O = ADP + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13065, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=5.6.2.3;
SUBUNITHeterotrimer of RecB, RecC and RecD. All subunits contribute to DNA-binding.
MISCELLANEOUSIn the RecBCD complex, RecB has a slow 3'-5' helicase, an exonuclease activity and loads RecA onto ssDNA, RecD has a fast 5'- 3' helicase activity, while RecC stimulates the ATPase and processivity of the RecB helicase and contributes to recognition of the Chi site.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the RecD family.
