| UniProt functional annotation for Q5SL87 | |||
| UniProt code: Q5SL87. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | The RuvA-RuvB complex in the presence of ATP renatures cruciform structure in supercoiled DNA with palindromic sequence, indicating that it may promote strand exchange reactions in homologous recombination. RuvAB is a helicase that mediates the Holliday junction migration by localized denaturation and reannealing. RuvB is a Mg(2+)- dependent, DNA-dependent ATPase with an equal preference for supercoiled and linear duplex DNA. It can promote Holliday junction migration alone. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00016, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10485292}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=ATP + H2O = ADP + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13065, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=3.6.4.12; Evidence={ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00016, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10485292}; | |
| Activity regulation: | The activity of RuvB is enhanced by RuvA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10485292}. | |
| Subunit: | Forms a complex with RuvA. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00016, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10485292, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11171970}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the RuvB family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00016}. | |
