RusA family crossover junction endodeoxyribonuclease
This family consists of several bacterial and phage Holliday junction resolvase (RusA) like proteins. The RusA protein of Escherichia coli is an endonuclease that can resolve Holliday intermediates and correct the defects in genetic recombination and DNA repair associated with inactivation of RuvAB or RuvC [1,2].
