...David M.J. Lilley Four-way DNA (Holliday) junctions are resolved into duplex species by the action of the junction-resolving enzymes, nucleases selective for the structure of helical branchpoints. These have been isolated from bacteria and their phages, archaea, yeasts and mammals, including humans...

...Stephen C. West Four-way DNA intermediates, known as Holliday junctions, are formed during mitotic and meiotic recombination, and their efficient resolution is essential for proper chromosome segregation. Bacteria, bacteriophages and archaea promote Holliday junction resolution by the introduction...

... and fission yeasts have established that there are at least two pathways for generating crossovers. One pathway involves the resolution of fully ligated four-way DNA junctions [HJs (Holliday junctions)] by an as yet unidentified endonuclease. The second pathway appears to involve the cleavage...
