MeSH definition : Enzymes that recombine DNA segments by a process which involves the formation of a
synapse between two DNA helices, the cleavage of single strands from each DNA helix
and the ligation of a DNA strand from one DNA helix to the other. The resulting DNA
structure is called a Holliday junction which can be resolved by DNA REPLICATION or
by HOLLIDAY JUNCTION RESOLVASES.;
MeSH synonym : transposase;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 2.7.7.-;
