Heterooctamer of four alpha and four beta chains arranged as a tetramer of alpha/beta heterodimers.
Is synthesized initially as an inactive proenzyme. Formation of the active enzyme involves a self-maturation process in which the active site pyruvoyl group is generated from an internal serine residue via an autocatalytic post-translational modification. Two non-identical subunits are generated from the proenzyme in this reaction, and the pyruvate is formed at the N-terminus of the alpha chain, which is derived from the carboxyl end of the proenzyme.

During trans-translation Ala-aminoacylated tmRNA acts like a tRNA, entering the A-site of stalled ribosomes, displacing the stalled mRNA.

An anti-sigma factor for extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor sigma-E (RpoE). ECF sigma factors are held in an inactive form by an anti-sigma factor until released by regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP). RIP occurs when an extracytoplasmic signal triggers a concerted proteolytic cascade to transmit information and elicit cellular responses.

Homodimer which binds Holliday junction (HJ) DNA. The HJ becomes 2-fold symmetrical on binding to RuvC with unstacked arms; it has a different conformation from HJ DNA in complex with RuvA. In the full resolvosome a probable DNA-RuvA(4)-RuvB(12)-RuvC(2) complex forms which resolves the HJ.
The RuvA-RuvB-RuvC complex processes Holliday junction (HJ) DNA during genetic recombination and DNA repair. Endonuclease that resolves HJ intermediates. Cleaves cruciform DNA by making single-stranded nicks across the HJ at symmetrical positions within the homologous arms, yielding a 5'-phosphate and a 3'-hydroxyl group; requires a central core of homology in the junction. The consensus cleavage sequence is 5'-(A/T)TT(C/G)-3'. Cleavage occurs on the 3'-side of the TT dinucleotide at the point of strand exchange. HJ branch migration catalyzed by RuvA-RuvB allows RuvC to scan DNA until it finds its consensus sequence, where it cleaves and resolves the cruciform DNA.
