摘要: Abstract The faithful and complete replication of DNA is necessary for the maintenance genome stability. It known, however, that forks stall at lesions in template need to be processed so restart can occur. In fission yeast, Mus81-Eme1 endonuclease complex (Mus81-Mms4 Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been implicated processing aberrant intermediates. this report, we identify human homolog Schizosaccharomyces pombe EME1 gene have purified heterodimer. We show an exhibits a high specificity synthetic fork structures 3′-flaps vitro. nuclease cleaves Holliday junctions inefficiently (∼75-fold less than flap or structures), although cleavage increased 6-fold by presence homologous sequences previously shown permit base pair “breathing.” conclude flap/fork likely play role stalled
