Summary

Go to the top of the page Help

Official Symbol: ruvA
Official Full Name: Holliday junction branch migration complex subunit RuvA
Primary source: ECOCYC:RUVA
Locus tag: b1861
See related: ASAP:ABE-0006206
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL
Organism: Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 (strain: K-12, substrain: MG1655)
Lineage: Bacteria; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia
Also known as: ECK1862
Summary: Binds Holliday junction as two tetramers (an octamer) and each tetrameric half recruits one RuvB hexameric helicase. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10923]. RuvABC is an enzymatic complex which functions in recombination pathways to by binding to recombinational junctions and catalyzing strand cleavage and branch migration. [More information is available at EcoCyc: RUVA].

Regression of replication forks stalled by leading-strand template damage: both RecG and RuvAB catalyze regression, but RuvC cleaves the holliday junctions formed by RecG preferentially.
Title: Regression of replication forks stalled by leading-strand template damage: I. Both RecG and RuvAB catalyze regression, but RuvC cleaves the holliday junctions formed by RecG preferentially.
These results suggest that RecQ acts upstream of RuvABC, RecG and XerC proteins, a finding that is compatible with its primary role in initiation of the RecF recombination pathway.
Title: RecQ helicase acts before RuvABC, RecG and XerC proteins during recombination in recBCD sbcBC mutants of Escherichia coli.
RNA polymerase mutations reduce the synergism between priB and ruvABC.
Title: Modulation of DNA damage tolerance in Escherichia coli recG and ruv strains by mutations affecting PriB, the ribosome and RNA polymerase.
DNA fragmentation absolutely depends on both RecA-catalyzed homologous strand exchange and RuvABC-catalyzed Holliday junction resolution
Title: Replication forks stalled at ultraviolet lesions are rescued via RecA and RuvABC protein-catalyzed disintegration in Escherichia coli.
Role in converting the initial single-strand DNA-protein cleavage complex into a double-strand break prior to repair by homologous recombination.
Title: Analysis of RuvABC and RecG involvement in the escherichia coli response to the covalent topoisomerase-DNA complex.
Study hypothesized that RuvAB catalyzes replication fork reversal in order to produce SOS(Con) expression.
Title: RecA4142 causes SOS constitutive expression by loading onto reversed replication forks in Escherichia coli K-12.
The authors present here the isolation and characterization of ruvA and ruvB single mutants that are impaired for replication fork reversal at forks arrested by the inactivation of polymerase III, while they remain capable of homologous recombination.
Title: ruvA and ruvB mutants specifically impaired for replication fork reversal.
RuvABC is required to resolve junctions that arise during the repair of a subset of nonarresting lesions after replication has passed through the template
Title: RuvABC is required to resolve holliday junctions that accumulate following replication on damaged templates in Escherichia coli.
RuvA octamerization is essential for the full biological activity of RuvABC.
Title: The role of RuvA octamerization for RuvAB function in vitro and in vivo.
RuvA is less mobile at a heterologous junction compared to a homologous junction, as two opposing DnaB pumps are required to mobilize RuvA over heterologous DNA.
Title: RuvA is a sliding collar that protects Holliday junctions from unwinding while promoting branch migration.
