Q

A method for repairing double-strand breaks that creates two Holliday intermediates, which must be cleaved by resolvases. The genes flanking the repair site may be unchanged or may undergo a reciprocal exchange, depending on how the crossovers are resolved.

Q

A bacterial protein complex that prepares DNA at a double-strand break for repair. The complex has helicase activity to unwind the DNA, an endonuclease activity that creates 3′ single-stranded overhangs, and an activity that loads RecA protein on the 3′-ending single strand.
