The RecBCD helicase initiates double-stranded break repair in bacteria by processively unwinding DNA with a rate approaching ∼1,600 bp·s<sup>-1</sup>, but the mechanism enabling such a fast rate is unknown. Employing a wide range of methodologies - including equilibrium and time-resolved binding experiments, ensemble and single-molecule unwinding assays, and crosslinking followed by mass spectrometry - we reveal the existence of auxiliary binding sites in the RecC subunit, where ATP binds with l ...[more]
