Structural highlights
1y1o is a 4 chain structure with sequence from Geobacillus stearothermophilus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
RECU_GEOKA Endonuclease that resolves Holliday junction intermediates in genetic recombination. Cleaves mobile four-strand junctions by introducing symmetrical nicks in paired strands. Promotes annealing of linear ssDNA with homologous dsDNA. Required for DNA repair, homologous recombination and chromosome segregation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00130][1]
