| UniProt functional annotation for Q10423 | |||
| UniProt code: Q10423. |
| Organism: | Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843) (Fission yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Taphrinomycotina; Schizosaccharomycetes; Schizosaccharomycetales; Schizosaccharomycetaceae; Schizosaccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Capable of resolving Holliday junctions. Specific for 4-way junctions. Seems to be important for the maintenance of mitochondrial DNA. Cleaves fixed junctions at the point of strand exchange. Cleaves after 5'-CT-3' and 5'-TT-3' sequences. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10954073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9343409}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Endonucleolytic cleavage at a junction such as a reciprocal single-stranded crossover between two homologous DNA duplexes (Holliday junction).; EC=3.1.22.4; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:9343409}; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9343409}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10954073}. | |
