ATPase required during meiosis for the creation of crossover recombination intermediates (PubMed:29742103). Binds DNA: preferentially binds to single-stranded DNA and DNA branched structures (By similarity).

Does not show nuclease activity in vitro, but shows ATPase activity, which is stimulated by the presence of single-stranded DNA (By similarity). .
