The Mus81/Mms4 endonuclease acts independently of double-Holliday junction resolution to promote a distinct subset of crossovers during meiosis in budding yeast

Current models for meiotic recombination require that crossovers derive from the resolution of a double-Holliday junction (dHJ) intermediate. In prokaryotes, enzymes responsible for HJ resolution are well characterized but the identification of a eukaryotic nuclear HJ resolvase has been elusive. Ind...
