Abstract excerpt
Mus81-Mms4 and Rad1-Rad10 are homologous structure-specific endonucleases that cleave 3' branches from distinct substrates and are required for replication fork stability and nucleotide excision repair, respectively, in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We explored the basis of this biochemical and genetic specificity. The Mus81-Mms4 cleavage site, a nick 5 nucleotides (nt) 5' of the flap, is determined not by...
