Abstract

Pif1 plays multiple roles in maintaining genome stability and preferentially unwinds forked dsDNA. Here the authors solve the structure of Bacteroides sp Pif1 (BaPif1) in complex with a symmetrical double forked dsDNA and provide unprecedented insights into forked dsDNA unwinding by BaPif1.
