Homeostatic regulation of G-quadruplexes (G4s), four-stranded structures that can form in guanine-rich nucleic acids, requires G4 unwinding helicases. The mechanisms that mediate G4 unwinding remain unknown. We report the structure of a bacterial RecQ DNA helicase bound to resolved G4 DNA. Unexpectedly, a guanine base from the unwound G4 is sequestered within a guanine-specific binding pocket. Disruption of the pocket in RecQ blocks G4 unwinding, but not G4 binding or duplex DNA unwinding, indicating its essential role in structure-specific G4 resolution. A novel guanine-flipping and sequestration model that may be applicable to other G4-resolving helicases emerges from these studies. How G-quadruplexes (G4s) are resolved by helicases is still a matter of investigation. Here the authors provide mechanistic insight into G4s unwinding by presenting a crystal structure of resolved G4 DNA and the G4 binding domain of RecQ helicase from the bacterium Cronobacter sakazakii.
