Abstract

The Holliday junction (HJ) is a central intermediate in homologous recombination. Ip et al. (2008), in a recent issue of Nature, have identified a new subclass of the Rad2/XPG family of nucleases with the hallmark of symmetrical cleavage of HJ substrates to produce nicked duplex products.
