RuvC, Recombinant
Cat. No. FNK-01-011
Store at -20°C
Size 20µg
Origin E.coli
Description
E. coli RuvC protein is a structurally specific endonuclease which binds specifically to the Holliday structure, an intermediate of recombination, at the late stage of homologous recombination and recombination repair and introduces a nick in the symmetrical point of the Holliday junction cleaving and resolving the recombinant (1, 2). The product is a recombinant protein abundantly expressed by E. coli and purified by methods such as chromatography (Fig. 1). Its molecular weight is 19 kD and forms a dimer in liquid and in binding state with the Holliday structure.
Applications
- Studies on homologous recombination mechanism
- To use as endonuclease which functions specifically to the Holliday structure
