HJ resolvases have been identified across all kingdoms of life, members of which exhibit sequence-dependent HJ resolution. However, the molecular basis of sequence selectivity remains largely unknown. Here, we present the chloroplast resolvase MOC1, which cleaves HJ in a cytosine-dependent manner. We determine the crystal structure of MOC1 with and without HJs. MOC1 exhibits an RNase H fold, belonging to the retroviral integrase family. MOC1 functions as a dimer, and the HJ is embedded into the basic cleft of the dimeric enzyme. We characterize a base recognition loop (BR loop) that protrudes into and opens the junction. Residues from the BR loop intercalate into the bases, disrupt the C-G base pairing at the crossover and recognize the cytosine, providing the molecular basis for sequence-dependent HJ resolution by a resolvase.
