Description
Background:
- coli RuvA protein binds specifically to the Holliday structure which is the intermediate of recombination at the late stage of homologous recombination and recombination repair and forms a complex with RuvB motor protein allowing the migration of Holliday junction using ATP hydrolysis energy and expands the heteroduplex region. In solution, it forms a tetramer and binds to the cross-like DNA of the Holliday junction from below and above holding it in between (1, 2).
The molecular weight of the monomer is 22 kD.
