Essential meiotic endonuclease 1 (Eme1), a member of the Eme1/Mms4 family, associates with Mus81 to constitute a heterodimeric endonuclease that has been implicated in mitotic and meiotic recombination in eukaryotes. The Mus81-Eme1 complex cleaves branched DNA structures, especially those arising during stalled DNA replication such as replication forks and 3 DNA flaps. When purified from yeast, this complex cleaves synthetic Holliday junctions into linear duplex DNA. These findings provide compelling evidence that Mus81-Eme1 complexes are essential elements of the eukaryotic nuclear Holliday junction...
