A novel mechanism for the scission of double-stranded DNA: BfiI cuts both 3′–5′ and 5′–3′ strands by rotating a single active site

Metal-dependent nucleases that generate double-strand breaks in DNA often possess two symmetrically-equivalent subunits, arranged so that the active sites from each subunit act on opposite DNA strands.
