Cyanobacteria, which have a photoautotrophic lifestyle, are threatened by ultraviolet solar rays and the reactive oxygen species generated during photosynthesis. They can adapt to environmental conditions primarily because of their DNA damage response and repair mechanisms, notably an efficient homologous recombination repair system. However, research on double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways, including the Holliday junction (HJ) resolution process, in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 is limited. Here, we report that SynRuvC from cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp...
