Abstract
The Holliday junction is a well-known intermediate of homologous recom bination. Recently, the proteins involved in the correct processing of the Holliday structure into mature recombinant molecules, namely RuvA , RuvB, RuvC and RecG have been isolated and characterized. This has c ulminated in a model for their synergistic mechanism of action and the solving of the RuvC crystal structure.
