Joint molecule resolution requires the redundant activities of MUS-81 and XPF-1 during Caenorhabditis elegans meiosis. by Nigel J O'Neil, Julie S Martin, Jillian L Youds, Jordan D Ward, Mark I R Petalcorin, Anne M Rose, Simon J Boulton

“…We discovered that early recombination intermediates are limited by the C. elegans BLM ortholog, HIM-6, and in the absence of HIM-6 by the structure specific endonuclease MUS-81. In the absence of both MUS-81 and HIM-6, recombination intermediates persist, leading to chromosome breakage at diakinesis and inviable embryos. …”
