malfunction | yeast strains deleted for both YEN1 and MMS4 show a reduction in growth rate, and are very sensitive to DNA-damaging agents. Yeast cells are unable to carry out meiosis in the absence of both resolvases | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
physiological function | Holliday junctions need to be resolved to allow chromosome segregation, they are formed during homologous recombination. Both Yen1 and Mms4/Mus81 play important but not identical roles during vegetative growth and in meiosis. Yen1 and Mms4/Mus81 act as alternative resolvases for recombination events in meiosis, and the activity of at least one of them is essential to ensure proper meiosis and sporulation | Saccharomyces cerevisiae |
