DNA helicases are motor proteins that play essential roles in replication, repair and recombination. In the replicative hexameric helicase, fundamental reaction is unwinding of duplex DNA; however, our understanding this function remains vague due to insufficient structural information. Here, we report two crystal structures DnaB-family helicase from Geobacillus kaustophilus HTA426 (GkDnaC) apo-form bound single-stranded (ssDNA). The GkDnaC-ssDNA complex structure reveals three symmetrical...
