Function

An in vitro resolvase system that forms and processes HJ has been reconstituted with DNA substrates, RuvA, RuvB and RuvC. RuvA-RuvB increases the rate of strand exchange (branch migration), dissociates the RecA filament and allows RuvC to cleave in both orientations at the cruciform junction. HJ-RuvA-RuvB-RuvC complexes resolve Holliday junctions and also undergo branch migration, providing evidence for a coupled branch migration/HJ resolution reaction.

Function

An in vitro resolvase system that forms and processes HJ has been reconstituted with DNA substrates, RuvA, RuvB and RuvC. RuvA-RuvB increases the rate of strand exchange (branch migration), dissociates the RecA filament and allows RuvC to cleave in both orientations at the cruciform junction (PubMed:10421637, PubMed:9160752). HJ-RuvA-RuvB-RuvC complexes resolve Holliday junctions and also undergo branch migration, providing evidence for a coupled branch migration/HJ resolution reaction (PubMed:10421637)

Subunit

Homotetramer (PubMed:10772859, PubMed:10890893, PubMed:1435721, PubMed:7885479, PubMed:8832889, PubMed:9493263, PubMed:9628481). Forms a stable RuvA-RuvB-Holliday junction (HJ) complex in the presence of non-hydrolyzable (d)NTPs; in the presence of hydrolyzable (d)NTPs branch migration occurs (PubMed:7885479, PubMed:8393934). In electron microscopic images the complex is formed by 2 oppositely facing RuvB hexamers sandwiching possibly 2 RuvA tetramers at cruciform DNA structures (PubMed:7885479, PubMed:9047358). In E.coli X-ray structures only 1 RuvA tetramer binds to HJ (complex I); however in M.leprae and T.thermophilus, 2 RuvA tetramers bind the HJ (complex II) (PubMed:10890893, PubMed:9628481). Mutagenesis experiments that prevent RuvA complex II formation on HJ DNA have impaired function, suggesting both complex I and complex II are physiologically important. Y-junction resolution is normal in these mutants, further suggesting each RuvA tetramer supports the activity of one RuvB hexamer. Mutants that don't make complex II are impaired in replication fork reversal (RFR), suggesting complex II exists in vivo (PubMed:15556943, PubMed:21531731). Forms a complex with RuvB without DNA; RuvA-RuvC complexes were not detected in the absence of DNA (PubMed:9160752). Can form complexes with RuvC and HJ DNA which inhibits RuvC activity (PubMed:15556943, PubMed:21531731, PubMed:9000618, PubMed:9637927). In the presence of HJ DNA a DNA-RuvA-RuvB-RuvC complex forms with 2 rings of RuvB that resolves upon addition of ATP. Upon HJ resolution the protein complex dissociates from DNA (PubMed:10421637, PubMed:9637927)
