description: This family contains several bacterial RmuC DNA recombination proteins. The function of the
  RMUC protein is unknown but it is suspected that it is either a structural protein that protects DNA
  against nuclease action, or is itself involved in DNA cleavage at the regions of DNA secondary structures
