The Holliday junction, the key intermediate of recombination, is generated by strand exchange resulting in a covalent connection between two recombining DNA molecules. Translocation of a Holliday junction along DNA, or branch migration, progressively exchanges one DNA strand for another and determines the amount of information that is transferred between two recombining partners. In Escherichia coli, the RuvAB protein complex promotes rapid and unidirectional branch migration of Holliday junctio ...[more]
