Abstract

Background: DNA replication fork rescue requires the action of DNA helicases to regress the fork. Results: RecG is more active than RuvAB on substrates that mimic nascent stalled forks, whereas RuvAB is active on Holliday junctions. Conclusion: RecG in concert with SSB regresses stalledDNAreplication forks, producingDNAsubstrates to which RuvAB can bind. Significance: RecG, not RuvAB, regresses stalled DNA replication forks.
