RuvC is a nuclease that resolves Holliday junction intermediates in genetic recombination. [1]

It cleaves the cruciform structure in supercoiled DNA by nicking to strands with the same polarity at sites symmetrically opposed at the junction in the homologous arms and leaves a 5'-terminal phosphate and a 3'-terminal hydroxyl group.
