Extended Data Fig. 7

a, b, Representative gel images of ensemble endonuclease reactions with Holliday junction (HJ) and nicked Holliday junction (nHJ) substrates. Reactions contained 25 nM indicated proteins, 0.5 mM ATP and 5 mM Mg2+/Mn2+, and were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min. The reaction products were analysed on a 15% denaturing polyacrylamide gel to detect strand nicking at any position. Nicking was not detected consistent with non-denaturing gels showing that model Holliday junction and nicked Holliday junction structures are not resolved by the MutLγ ensemble (not shown).
