Preferred Names: crossover junction endodeoxyribonuclease

NP_010959.2

Holliday junction resolvase; promotes template switching during break-induced replication (BIR), causing non-reciprocal translocations (NRTs); localization is cell-cycle dependent and regulated by Cdc28p phosphorylation; homolog of human GEN1; similar to S. cerevisiae endonuclease Rth1p
